ORA is a 65x instruction that performs a logical OR and stores the disjunction in the accumulator.

Syntax

ORA #const
ORA addr
ORA long
ORA dp
ORA (dp)
ORA [dp]
ORA addr, X
ORA long, X
ORA addr, Y
ORA dp, X
ORA (dp, X)
ORA (dp), Y
ORA [dp], Y
ORA sr, S
ORA (sr, S), Y

Cycle Penalties

• In all addressing modes, ORA takes one extra cycle when the accumulator is 16 bits wide.
• In direct page addressing modes, ORA takes another extra cycle if the low byte of the direct page register is nonzero.
