Lets not forget the 8080 too.
I was talking about word size being a power of 3.
Still with FPGA's and 36 bit wide memory 36 bit computers
could make a come back. :)
Hex what is
that. OCTAL is the way to go!
Ban all 8/16/32/64 bit computers ... Bring back
18/36 and 12/24 cpu's!
A 18 bit PDP-11 would have been so nice!
Hey! Many 16-bit minicomputers use octal notation -
PDP11, HP1000. Just because your word size is a
multiple of 4 doesn't mean you can't still use octal.
