Note that the MSB’s of the DATA (D7) and the EXTENDED DATA (E7) are in the fourth byte.

Terminology:

TO PC is the “DESTINATION BIT”

I4..I0 is the “INSTRUCTION”

D7..D0 is the “DATA”

E7..E0 is the “EXTENDED DATA”

A0 is the “LSB of the MACHINE ADDRESS”

The destination bit, TO PC, is 0 when sending from the PC to the machine, or 1 when sending from the machine to the PC.
