Description

Intellivision has word addressable memory. Each address cooresponds to a 16 bit value.

It would be nice to be able to correctly represent this in things like the Hex Editor but I don't currently see a way to do it.

I'm not sure if Intellivision is the only system with this issue, but I'm putting this here so it's not forgotten that it's a problem in case the issue comes up later.

Research direction

Begin by reviewing the Hex Editor's current memory-domain representation and how the Intellivision system exposes its 16-bit word-addressable memory. Determine the scope of support needed for other systems with the same model, then define completion criteria for correctly representing these domains in the Hex Editor.
