WRBYTE
Instruction: Write a byte to main memory.
WRBYTE Value, < # > Address
- Value (d-field) is the register containing the 8-bit value to write to main memory.
- Address (s-field) is a register or a 9-bit literal whose value is the main memory address to write to.

1 Destination Out doesn't exist since including a WR effect would turn WRBYTE into a RDBYTE instruction.
2 The Z flag is set (1) unless the main memory address is on a long boundary.
Explanation
WRBYTE synchronizes to the Hub and writes the lowest byte in Value to main memory at Address.
The WR effect can not be used with WRBYTE as that would change it to a RDBYTE instruction.
WRBYTE is a hub instruction. Hub instructions require 8 to 23 clock cycles to execute depending on the relation between the cog's hub access window and the instruction's moment of execution. See Hub for more information.
