I did something more elaborate than that for 7 years as a Z80
assembly language programmer 7 years ago. Once I was told to fix a
broken wire with a software code change over my protests that it was
broken. I got a technician to ohm out the line for me and fix it.
(There was this running battle between the software group and the
hardware group! We also served crow regularly! 🙂 )
We did have a Mostek AID-80F development system with an ICE
(In-Circuit Emulator). The clock had to come from the embedded
system when emulating.
The development system had constantly running 8-inch floppy diskette
drives. Printouts were done on a Centronics 201 printer.
