So did I for the first 2 projects I built, one using an RCA 1802 cpu for tape machine controlling at a tv station, and 2 years later, on a z80 based pair of boards for an FM transmitter remote control. The 1802 was a piece of cake, the z80 was a problem child, buggier than a 10 day old carcass. The assembler helps, but isn't a carved in stone requirement. A hex monitor is sufficient in most cases. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
