> I can see why no one wanted to write MIPS Asm

At least in comparison to x86 assembly, MIPS assembly seemed very elegant and rich to me at the time. I wanna say that MIP R4K had 32 integer registers and 16/32 double- or single-precision float registers, but don't quote me on that. Either way, it was an embarrassment of riches :)
