NOP

Instruction Name	No Operation
Mnemonic	NOP
CP1610 Clock Cycles	6
Interruptible	Yes
Opcode Range	$0034-$0035

The No Operation (NOP) instruction performs no function. Programs use NOPs as a time-killer for synchronization purposes. Programs also use NOPs to break up long sequences of non-interruptible instructions in order to allow the STIC to interrupt the CPU or request the bus. The opcode format is as follows.

   0000:0000:0011:010x

   where:
       x   is ignored
