    No, Christian is an old programmer. The number represents the maximum memory addressable by an Intel 8080.

      About the 16 bits, or super being a VB programmer ? Yes, 65536 is the maximum for a 16 bit number 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 - one byte 512 1024 2048 4096 8192 16384 32768 65535 - two bytes No, I can't go any higher than that off the top of my head, at 128k I need to work it out myself.

        Do you have any idea what you can do with a 65535-way 8080 cluster? It's one of the best kept secrets at Intel!

          I thought that was 640k, therefore 655350 ?

                Good Lord! They still won't let it die? It's time to move on, let the dead bury their own dead, and get on with it. If I'm willing to give up CP/M, Intel should be willing to quit supporting A20!:) "Another day done; all targets met; all systems fully operational; all customers satisfied; all staff keen and well motivated; all pigs fed and ready to fly." - Jennie Agard, McGuckin Hardware Systems Manager

                              Sorry Roger, Junkie is right there. The memory addressed by 8080 et al. is 64K (65536) bytes. Elaine (ex 8 bit fluffy tigress) Would you like to meet my teddy bear ?
