When I was bored, I thought about a minimal six-bit computer with a three-byte address bus (18 bit).

I went ahead and tried to design a machine language for that computer. There are three registers: the three-byte accumulator, the two-byte stack pointer and a 6 bit wide flag register and these addressing modes: accumulator, immediate, absolute, relative and stack.

It's possible that I will try to implement this system with the help of a FGPA.

Just out of curiosity. As a hobby.
