Are we talking about the old 8-bit processors as well, or are we just talking
about the "new" processors.  (Define it for your self :-)
If we are talking about those 8-bitters then the MOSTEK-6502 does not contain
dividing or multiplication instructions.  And if memory serves me right, neither
did the Z-80.

Now, one question: does the ARM chip in Acorn Archimedes include multiply and/or
divide instructions.
