[ What is a 16 bit machine and what is an 8 bit machine? ]
Don't forget the GI 1600! It has a 16 bit data bus, and a 10 bit
instruction bus ( Yes, GI sold 10 bit wide roms ). What do we call
this ( besides an abomination :-) )
( by the way, 10 bits is called a decle, and 5 bits is a nickle )
( GI also has one with a 13 bit instruction bus. That's progress.
I don't know what one calls 13 bits )
