[GreenKeys] OT a lot?

Ah yes, Z80MU, I remember that.  I used that with M80 and L80 to program 
a Z80 based project.  I think the editor was called EDIT, and it used 
the same commands as ED on RT-11?  Or I have the names reversed, a long 
time ago.  So the process was edit source, M80, then L80, then eprom 
burner.  Test, find bugs, back to editor etc.  Arduino sure streamlines 
that process, although in the background it's pretty much the same.  You 
just don't see it.
