I removed some of the comments you added to the initial register values, because the aim of this article is to present a simplified model of the APU, and not require the programmer to bother with anything more. You can add them back if you want, but I'm thinking this should focus on simplicity and getting results, not understanding the APU.
I also removed the use of the round() function, as I didn't feel it would be clear to the intended audience (I put a comment explaining to round the result).
Again, I'm fairly new to Wikis so feel free to explain better ways of handling these than I have. :)
