Tedious? Just a bit.  I have on the shelf above me, paper and audio cart 
copies of some code I wrote without an assembler, in 1978 for an RCA 1802.  
It worked well, and was still in use 15 years later the last time I 
checked.  Like you, I did the same thing on a Z-80 a year later.

Cheers, Gene

It seems like the less a statesman amounts to, the more he loves the flag.
A pen in the hand of this president is far more
dangerous than 200 million guns in the hands of
         law-abiding citizens.
