<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial> I read in some specs either
for 6502 or Z80A the term "memory word size". These are all 8 bit cpus I know
that but they have different sized address buses. Rich straightened me out.
The term "memory" was throwing me off. I these cases Word Size would be 8 bit.
Like todays 64 bit machines. Word size is now considered "64" on 64 bit
processors. Although the 6502 had 8 bit registers except maybe for one, and a
16 bit address bus. They are 8 bit "word" sized.</FONT></DIV>
