Hardware Description
The BTI 8000 was architected in the mid 1970s, when complex instruction sets, as typified by the DEC VAX computer, was state of the art. Memory was a very expensive commodity, and it was thought that highly encoded instruction sets would make the most use of this expensive resource. At the time, core memory was still a viable technology for main memory.
