Funny you should say that, but after the last posting, I went to look, and found I still have the code documentation, and the listing I did of the assembler, mnemonics, and instructions, and calculation of the instruction times.

Documentation is written in troff, and is over 30 years old, and lasted a lot longer than the company I wrote it for.

I had actually remembered it wrongly - it was 128µs rather than 127 instructions, and therefore more than 127 instructions.

Thanks for that update. That's what I'd call a good job.

Whoosh indeed. I've hardly ever touched Unix - only ever written one thing (which was modifying a device driver, oddly enough). Mostly oddities, Windows, and lately Linux.
