The <REFERENCE>(xyp) registers consist of the processor
status longword, internal processor registers, <REFERENCE>(xyp)
registers in <REFERENCE>(XMI) private space, <REFER-
ENCE>(XMI) required registers, and 16 general purpose reg-
isters.

Key to Types:
R–Read
W–Write
R/W–Read/write
Key to Classes:
1–Implemented by the <REFERENCE>(xyp), specified in the VAX Architecture Refer-
ence Manual.
2–Implemented uniquely by the <REFERENCE>(xyp).
3–Not implemented. Read as zero; NOP on write.
4–Access not allowed; accesses result in a reserved operand fault.
5–Accessible, but not fully implemented; accesses yield UNPREDICTABLE results.
n I–The register is initialized on <REFERENCE>(xyp) reset (power-up, system re-
set, and node reset).
