Stack pointer, not counter. It pointed to the location where the registers were saved/read.
Most machines with core memory didn't have stack pointers. Hardware support for stacks was rather late. They didn't have CPUs either. Processing would be split between the arithmetic unit, or mill, the registers and the control unit. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
