*   Indirect addressing is done differently:

        TAD I A       / PAL syntax
        TAD% A        / RALF syntax

*   The programmer must tell the assembler when zero-page addressing is needed:

        TAD A         / PAL syntax: PAL assemblers know when A is on page zero and so set the Z flag in machine code output
        TAD A         / PAL syntax, implicit Z flag based on known location of A
        TAD Z A       / PAL lets you be explicit if you want; space is not optional
        TADZ A        / RALF syntax: RALF needs to be told; no space can be given

*   Its expression syntax has no "and" operator, `&`

*   It does not support zero-page literals: `[20]`
