Telephony switches - is there anyone out there collecting these?

Hi I don't think it matters what form of number represented. As for jump or branch, I like branch better for portablility. Still, jump is the easiest to implement in hardware. Sequencing could be done with an LFSR instead of a incrementor. This is even easier to implement. Of course, one would most likely need a compiler to figure addresses out but branch would just be an xor pattern. The ultimate in simple. One could most likely get even simpler with a bitwise nand of the data and a branch if zero ( or jump if you like ). One can create add and subtract with just nand and invert ( invert is just nand( n, 1's ). This would be binary to makes sense. I think one might like to add some form of subroutine call. The way I saw it done in the Nicolet would be fine. The first location of the call would receive the return address. One could make it so that all branches were like calls, it would just be that the return address was ignored if it was not a call. Still, only one instruction but multiple ways to use it. :) Dwight _________________________________________________________________ Picture this ? share your photos and you could win big! http://www.GETREALPhotoContest.com?ocid=TXT_TAGHM&loc=us
