Ha, I thought that must be true at the time. It convinced me not to persevere. Good to hear I was right.

If I remember correctly most developers could only afford such systems after slowly establishing themselves, and they weren't cheap for 80's money.

So preservance using what the 8bit systems offered was a must anyway.

It would be interesting to recreate the full 1980s Spectrum development experience. Emulating a 1980s 16 bit machine on a modern PC, which runs a development system running, presumably, a Spectrum emulator!
Thanks - looks fascinating!
