Somewhere I have a copy of an article (or two) titled

"A design for a 16 bit processor using only 600 transistors"

from Microelectronics Journal, Vol 15, Nr 3,
copyright 1984 Benn Electronics Publications Ltd, London

The machine has 4 instructions: three subtracts, and one bit clear.

I'll try to find and reread the articles if it would be of interest.
