There are about 26 possible postbytes so I don't intend to list all of
them. Here is are some typical examples.
postbyte
opcode D,R where R=X,Y,U or S
1RR01011 X=00 Y=01 U=10 S=11

,--R
1RR00011

n,PCR
1XX01101 16 bit offset XX=don't care
Note that bits 5&6 determine the register and the other bits determine
the function. There may be other bytes after the postbyte as needed for
addresses.
