A85: Re: Most unused opcode




The following instructructions is not seem in asm programs very often :

ADD A(IX+d)  *8EDD)
CPD (A9ED)
CPI (A1ED)
DEC IX/IY (2BDD/FD)
IND(R) (AAED/BAED)
INI(R) (A2ED/B2ED)
JP(IX) (E9DD)
JP(IY) (E9FD)
OTDR (BBED)
OTIR (B3ED)
OUTD (ABED)
OUTI(A3ED)

However, parts of these instructions (like 2B) corresponds too often used
instructions. You would also have to make sure that no data included this
pattern.
