I'm not really a gopher user, but are there gopher clients that can
display PDFs? I'm guessing if I pointed lynx at that it would just
give me the option to download the file, and I'd have to view it
separately.

That works in lynx. Some of the labels are missing. PCL / PCH are
Program Counter Low / High, right? Where low and high are not low and
high water marks (to show a range of memory), but low and high bit parts
for holding an address larger than a bus width, correct? And A0 to A15
are address lines, again unlabeled.

On a pure ASCII art level, I think I'd move the MUXes further to the
right and give them longer lines, so instead of

        KEY:          |  |      |       |      |             |
                      |  |      |       |      :-------------:  .___.
       X,Y: INDEX     |  |      |       |                    |->|   |
            REGISTERS |  |      |       :--------------------|->|MUX|->AL
                      |  :------|----------------------------|->|___|A0-7
       S: STACK       |         |                            |

Have, say:

        KEY:          |  |      |       |      |             |
                      |  |      |       |      :-------------:    .___.
       X,Y: INDEX     |  |      |       |                    |--->|   |
            REGISTERS |  |      |       :--------------------|--->|MUX|->AL
                      |  :------|----------------------------|--->|___|A0-7
       S: STACK       |         |                            |

Just so that they don't look so mashed together. In the same "not mashed
together" way, maybe move the whole KEY section below the diagram?

any reason for only posting a gopher URL instead of the art?
