Re: Byte Addressability And Beyond

According to Lawrence D'Oliveiro  <ldo@nz.invalid>:

Whereas using the same memory address to address a halfword gives you the
high half of the word at that location, not the low half?

For anyone familiar with big-endian addressing, those would both be
obviously correct.

Perhaps this would be a good time to stop digging.
