I learned assembly on the 6809, then the 8086 (technically the 8088). I've always heard that it was designed to make porting code from the 8080/Z80 easy. But I never really learned the assembly for the 8080/Z80. I only mentioned it because I think (if I recall) TED.COM was limited to editing around 60K or so (one segment's worth of memory). But I can see it won't fit your needs. -spc
