Hi,

I'm not very familiar with that part of Hatari so I'm not sure just by
looking at the diff (at least not without more study). Laurent will know
better.

I will say that the exceptional case occurs when Nn is exactly a multiple
of the 2^k ringbuffer bound. If it is less, it performs modulo addressing.
If greater, the results seem to be undefined i.e. not necessarily modulo.

This happens for (Rn)+Nn, (Rn)-Nn *and also (Rn+Nn) i.e. offset only, with
no update to addr register.*

Best,
D
