So the /CX variant of the ND110 only affected speed, not instruction set.

	:I believe there should be an entry for the ND-100/CX. I always understood it to be an improvement on the CE version, not a renaming. We used to have a 100/CX at work until some years ago, now there's only the rack left.. anyway, the {{ND-doc\|06.014.02\|section 3.5}} specifies the CX instructions as new instructions not included in the CE instructions (covered earlier in the same document). So the sentence '''"NORD-100/CE, Commercial Extended, with decimal arithmetic instructions (The decimal instruction set was later renamed CX)"''' is definitely incorrect. And the article in ND-Nytt clearly states that there are architectural improvements as well, compared to the CE - it's not just a microcode updatate.
