  26 bits? I
can't think of a machine with a 26 bit data path. I believe
some ARMs have a 26 bit address bus, but that's hardly a 26 bit machine.
Now 24 bit machines can be interesting... 
 Oh no? Finding an ARM-based machine around here is about as easy as finding a

 What feature about the older ARM processors is 26 bit? 
As Tony said, the address bus is 26-bit, as is the program counter (the
remaining 6 bits are used for processor flags).  The data registers are
32-bit, of course.
