/* Microcode */
To execute a machine instruction, the computer internally executes several simpler micro-instructions, specified by the microcode. In other words, microcode forms another layer between the machine instructions and the hardware.
The actual internal representation is a combination of "microcode" and "nanocode". The 68000 has 544 17-bit microcode words which dispaches to 366 68-bit nanocode words. [https://stackoverflow.com/a/19045414 Source1] [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35147204 35141320 Source2]
