never, like, count out Touchdown Tom, man
Does anybody have recs for computer architecture, ideally for micros but possibly for other stuff (hopefully not x86) textbooks that are good and a useful read? Ideally more focused on the implications of the architecture on code that runs on the device. Have some coworkers that would get a lot out of one. Unfortunately I picked up what I know out of practical experience and accumulated debugging and so on so I don’t really know what a good one would be.

I have a question. Does anyone know of any electronic computers that stored and processed number in ways not integer or float? I don't mean software systems, like the complicated ways CAS's store and calculate number, or ASCII digits, I mean like pre- or non-IEEE 754.

Does this count? http://www.6502.org/users/dieter/bcd2/bcd2_6.htm Or like a 1s-complement system?
