16C 68 bit index reg: what for?
Message #1 Posted by Alexander Supalov on 15 Jan 2003, 9:23 a.m.
Hi!
I've got a pretty esoteric question: why does HP-16C index register have 68 bits when all normal registers can be at most 64 bit long? What those 4 extra bits could be used for, bar writing (nearly) endless ISZ loops, I mean.
Best regards.
