If I recall correctly, the PDP-10 had a similar situation with indirect memory references. Pointers had an "indirect" bit, and if set, the indirection would continue for as long as the pointer chain had the indirect bit set. Does anyone recall the details of how this worked? I assume the sequence could be interrupted and later resumed? Tom Bernie Cosell writes:
