I've never seen 8080/Z80 opcodes expressed in octal. I know that the modregrm 
byte for the x86 is 2,3,3, but I deal with that by using an inline function to 
manipulate it. It never occurred to me to use octal. Interesting.

ubyte modregrm (uint m, uint r, uint rm)
     { return cast(ubyte)((m << 6) | (r << 3) | rm); }

Of course, bit fields might be better :-)
