the literature you linked in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41473755 (the cpu technical reference, bill of materials, and photo) doesn't say that, nor does it mention pascal or p-code. and the microcode instruction set documented in the cpu technical reference doesn't look anything like p-code. perhaps you're referring to some advertising materials?

i think we agree that it supports p-code as a native instruction set, but it's easy to draw incorrect inferences from that statement, such as your claim that the microcode sequencer executed a p-code variant. it would be reasonable inference from the literature you quote, but it's wrong
