Can you name counter examples ?

Aside from the DS9000 and some surviving Unisys mainframes, no one
came up with real life examples of contemporary architectures with
non twos-complement arithmetics, padding bits, trap values and
similar obsolete crap.

If I recall correctly, some Cray vector machines have padding bits in
some of their predefined integer types. I haven't had a chance to
play with Cray's newer systems, so I don't know whether this is still
applicable; the systems I'm familiar with are mostly obsolete.



Well, this confirms the proposition that there are no
