PDP-11 Design Review Meeting

This interoffice memorandum documents the proceedings of the PDP-11 Design Review Meeting held on April 24, 1969. Key discussion points included: - A detailed review of the addressing flow chart and requested adjustments to inequality signs. - Requests for coding examples of addressing schemes and software simulation routines for extended op codes like Multiply. - Discussion of branch instructions, including condition code settings for Magnitude Compare, and a comparison of current and desired branch conditions. - Recommendations for byte addressing, specifically that byte addressing to registers should yield word results and that byte arithmetic should utilize sign extension to word size.
