I agree! It was amazing how things worked out when you started mixing
various modes and registers to get immediate addressing, indirect
addressing, etc. As I recall, the instruction word was always something
like this:

Operation - Source Register - Source Mode - Destination Register -
Destination Mode

How you mixed those created tha magic.
