- Isn't it the kb (possibly the kc) that can have 64k code & 64k data space.
- Theres a control line to separate them out. OK so the code and data have to
- be burnt into separate eproms, but you still get 128k program space!

- I like the 196, a real flexible registers system, quite a quick multiple
- instuction, and every register can be operated on. For someone from a 6502/
- Z80 background, this thing is heaven!
