#164670 - Op code?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
The 8051's op code consists of 1 to 3 bytes. So, 8, 16 and 24 bit numbers had to be converted, not only 16 bit numbers.

Usually, the op code is listed in HEX, like shown in this nice table from Jan

http://www.8052.com/users/wek/8051op.pdf

You can see a lower and upper nibble, each given as HEX number. "A4", for instance, means the instruction "MUL AB".

Do you want interpret the nibbles as HEX and show them by the help of 7 segment display? I remember a time where we had "9368" decoders doing this...
