“When the microprocessor decodes the JSR opcode, it stores the operand into the TEMP register ⟳ and pushes the current contents of the PC ($00 0128) onto the stack.”

“When you think ⟳ of current microprocessors (μPs), the Intel Itanium processor with 592 million transistors may come ⟳ to mind ⟳. […] Clearly today's FPGAs will not be able to implement such a top-of-the-range μP with a single FPGA.”
