Re: A86: That crazy IX register
you can use (ix+n) like (hl)
you can use ix like bc or de
some other places you can use ix like hl: ex (sp),ix; add ix,de; ld
sp,ix;
there are some "undocumented" instructions that let you work with hx and
lx, which are the byte components of ix.
using ix is also going to be slower and take more space.
this is also true for iy.
