Yeah, it helps alot. Thanks.
I guess the half-cary is for adding to the next significant 4 bit word.
And the current word, including overflow, is then subtracted by ten
(1010), if the half-carry is flaged, to yield the proper BCD word.
Is this what happens? If so, does this create an extra cycle of execution?

| Mar, The half carry (H) bit in the CCR sets if there is a carry from bit 3 to bit 4: in other words when there is a carry from the low hex digit to the high hex digit. Only the DAA instruction is affected by the state of H. For example: LDAA #$5A (...) (27 years ago, 3-Apr-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
