> Aren't all proper processors big-endian? :-)
Someone really needs to design a 24-bit middle-endian
CPU and settle that
argument for good :-)
People would still argue about the sequence for the other two "bytes".
The only real solution would be massive redundancy, and have every word be
symmetrical, which would require at least 32, 48, or 64 bits.
Waitaminit! How about having a 1 bit word?
