| Re: O.T. Indirct addressing onn the Sharp PC-1201?: Message #2 Posted by Valentin Albillo on 16 Oct 2007, 1:55 p.m., in response to message #1 by Palmer O. Hanson, Jr.
Hi, Palmer:
I neither own nor know in depth this model, but it seems to me that it's unlikely to have indirect addressing for the following reasons:
- First, I've been unable to find any reference to indirect capabilities in this machine despite lots of searching.
- Second, a glance at its keyboard doesn't seem to reveal any legend on the keys that could correspond to an index register, indirect addressing, etc.
- Third, with just 128 steps of program memory and only 12 memory registers, all of them likely to be directly addressable being that few, I don't see any real use for indirect addressing in this machine.
In any case, if I were your correspondent, I would kindly ask Mr. Toth himself, as he seems to own one and be very knowledgeable about it.
There's also a firm on the web which claims to provide nearly every manual under the sun, in PDF format, for a fee, and this model appears in their list of available ones. Google for "manuals in PDF" if willing to give it a try.
Best regards from V.
