    If you understand the instruction set, you will be able to visualize how the architecture will be. The buffers and memory management are covered in Instruction set. So that you can think of there will be 2 8 bit memories in a 8085 Microprocessor and stuff... Got it? ๐Ÿ˜€

    Oh ok... Nice... And you can use Verilog HDL to visualize in a PC... ๐Ÿ˜€ I am not sure though but it is possible... ๐Ÿ˜€
