 		 #88835 - Dumb A5 Opcode
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I would like to see the silly 0xA5 opcode eliminated from the processor. This instruction code supposedly operates similar to a NOP except that it sets the CY flag.

This concept makes no sense. If you want an NOP then use the normal opcode for the NOP. On the other hand if you want to set the CY flag simply use the already existing SETB C opcode.

I suggest that 0xA5 should be ripped out and flushed.
