Maybe 24 (nice multiple of 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12 bit

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.
What off the shelf parts??? Buffers and a few FF's or latches are 8 bit wide.

I am trying to keep this design to 1 ALU PCB and 1 Control PCB
and 24 bits is just a little too large I think to fit because
glue logic can add up. Also with 24 bits I would like 12 bit
bytes and that is even more complexity.
