Flicking through my 6502 book

Well that's interesting I thought it was the Osborne books whether the Kings of errors

Maybe I'm not decoding your comment correctly, but my tired old eyes didn't find the error you seem to imply is there. How about a hint?

Now cast your eye on too the Osborne book which has it correct. Fortunately. ( this time)

I wouldn't call them the kings of errors for a singe incorrect character.

I've not read a book in my life that did not contain an error or two ..

Anyone who has ever written anything of book size knows that random typos will always manage to creep in.  The particular typo that was highlighted is unfortunate, since it was supposed to be illustrating a concept.  However, I think a reader could quickly deduce what was supposed to be there.

Tell me about it... I wrote a book on maintaining a vehicle, and one chapter discusses in detail a part which does not exist on that vehicle... at least by the initials I called it

(Still sold lots of copies though - I reckon that 80% of UK owners have a copy of the book!)

Although I do agree there are a number of typo's through out all the electronics books I have for the 6502 , 8085 , 8061 etc , I found them very frustrating when I was starting out as I assumed it to be correct, and the logic worked a different way to general binary mathematics. And assumed ya know "ow that is how the processor works that mathmatical obstical" , but I would later find no it's not and it doesn't have a magic way of working it's just a typo. , now the Osborne books where great at it I have the 6502 , 8085 , 8086 , 8088 & the early one which discusses the microcomputers , and punch cards (roomsize)
