Back to the design ... any market for a 20 bit cpu. :)
Buy 3 or more and I'll throw in a few extra bits too.
Maybe 24 (nice multiple of 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12 bit words); leads to a
usably large address space and roomy enough for a 3 address architecture.
20 feels a bit tight to me. Also allows one to use off-the-shelf 8 bit
parts.
