You can get that experience today with the C compiler for the EZ80 chip. The short is 16-bit, and the long is 32-bit, so logically the int is 24-bit. You can use it as int24_t if you prefer.

An EZ80 is used in some of the TI graphing calculators.



On the PDP-10/20 bytes could range from 1 to 63 bits wide.
