Branch over two instructions, first being LDA #$xx This corresponds to the following sequence: Bxx + LDA #$xx (two more bytes not matched * This is the obvious way to conditionally execute two instructions, the first of which is LDA #$xx, which is very common. That the argument of LDA #$xx doesn't match, nor does the following two bytes, adds strength to the argument that this is a non-copyrightable sequence of bytes.
