I've always wondered what systems/processors
(other than IBM mainframes)
that had hardware decimal arithmetic support. I don't mean 'decimal
adjust' instructions, I'm talking about full
Not really want you're asking for, but I have a machine here (actually 2
diffeerent machines using the same processor) where the hardware is
bit-serial for binary operatiosn, but does BCD operations 1 nybble at a
time.....
A simple puzzle : What machine is it?
