01:56:55 ##forth <MrMobius> wow, thanks for sharing. calculator stuff is always cool to see
01:57:35 ##forth <MrMobius> some of the old timers talk about using an hp16 for assembly code decades ago and for handling one's complement
03:36:06 ##forth <lmt> other than overflow, word size matters for bitwise rotation (which hp16c has)
03:36:20 ##forth <lmt> i have no idea what you would actually use bitwise rotation for, though
03:38:07 ##forth <lmt> i guess all of it matters for cryptography
05:07:43 ##forth <nmz-> are there even z80's still working around?
05:17:08 ##forth <dave0> a couple years ago zilog said they're stopping making z80's but i'm pretty sure there's a handful of other companies you can source them from
06:37:02 ##forth <lmt> they still make ez80 which is the same thing but faster
08:38:15 ##forth <MrMobius> different instruction set though isn't it?
08:38:23 ##forth <MrMobius> 24 bit accumulator iirc
08:44:10 ##forth <MrMobius> Actually, looks like you're right
