No, e.g. with the Motorolas (HC16...) they are signed!
That byte me a long time ago and I will never forget!
Accessing an address with more than $7fff as offset will shoot your  
feet. And hopefully that targeted address is error-trapped because of  
this page is not declared in use. If it`s in use (=enabled), weird  
things happens.

BTDT, will never forget and forgive this crappy design.

I think the 68000 have the same Problem, but it will show up with  
offsets of more than 31 bit.
