I’m just happy that folk still appreciate old computers, be it the games, the culture, or the hardware. I live for the relative simplicity and ingenuity of old electronics, and the software that drives them.

Thanks for the tip. I didn't know that book. Back in the day in communist Czechoslovakia there were no books available - at least until ’88 or ’89, when an official (but apparently illegal) translation of O'Hara’s and Logan's book was published.

Bought it a couple of years ago and enjoyed it almost as religiously as The Complete Spectrum ROM Disassembly. A must-read - not just for those of us who spent their best years coding in Z80 assembly...
