Are there any physical indications of the order in which instructions were added? I mean to say: Is there any indication that (for example) they added DIV last, perhaps because it's complicated and they didn't know if they could fit that in.
- kens 4y agoAndrew Jenner pointed out that the microcode for the string (block move) operations doesn't exactly match the flowchart in the documentation, and the micro-instructions are kind of scattered around. So it's likely that the string operations were modified late in the process. As far as the other instructions, I haven't seen any particular indication of the order.
