The address ALU supports linear, modulo, and reverse-carry arithmetic types for all address register indirect addressing modes. For modulo arithmetic, the contents of Mn also specify the modulus. Each address register, Rn, has its own modifier register, Mn, associated with it. Each modifier register is set to $FFFF on processor reset, which specifies linear arithmetic as the default type for address register update calculations.
