| Following some discussion about the topic a few weeks ago, I was sufficiently curious and motivated enough to write a floating point library for the H8/RCX. Initially I thought I'd implement a non-IEEE floating point format optimized for the RCX, (...) (25 years ago, 27-May-99, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx)
