if I'm wrong Mark) can be DL'd from Planet-99. It is the saving grace for
learning not only the assembly language of the TMS's but also the how to's of
the 99.

I'll make it up to you someday.) and you get the E/A manual which doesn't teach
sh*t about programming but has all the pertinant info not covered in any book.

>>> 3rd... Your gear is pretty hardy (and pretty cheap to replace) so use it.
Emulation is nice if your at work or on vacation (Again sorry Mike ET AL...) but
does not come close to the experience of diddeling the real thing ;-) Besides
if your good gear fails then there are several resources to get it fixed or
replaced.
