  • When would you use LD A,R ?Can anyone tell me a practical use of LD A,R and LD R,A I am confused when you would need to use it? Cheers

    You can use R register for counting loops. So you don't need a INC or DEC instruction and the loop can be faster.
    Ultra-speed loading of k7zx uses these LD a,r and LD R,a instructions.
