   @thankfulmachine it's one of those useful little things that makes one realize that the #68k ISA was designed to make C compilers happy :blobcatcoffee:

     In love with the #68k "Address Register Indirect with Postincrement" addressing mode. Yes, I know we have every fancy thing imaginable today, but thinking about it in context, I think it's amazing.

     .loop:
     move.l (a0)+,(a1)+
     dbra d0,.loop

     Where d0 contains the number of longwords to copy. Address increment works with words and bytes as well? Love it! #assembly
