I have some questions (turns out the gist just wasn't enough).

-Translating from assembly code to machine code.-

I'm not 100% sure of what's going on there (I thought I did, but I decided to test myself...and I failed). Could you give a step-by-step explanation of the process?

-Processor cycle thing.-

Why does the looping happen? Why do things become different at cycle 46?

-Miscellaneous-

What is "clocking" or "clocked"?

What exactly are bits, and why have you labeled several things (buses, opcodes, etc) with something like "x bits"?

Could you give a brief tutorial (or something) on hexadecimal?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And lastly, I have a suggestion:

Start off posts with definitions of technical terms that you'll be using in the post, and that a layman might not be familiar with.
