I cut my teeth on 8080's and 6800's. We used to have this Tektronixs development machine that we'd write the code on in a text editor on it and then it would check the code and we could burn it onto a EPROM later EEPROM's. Later on I'd write code on a CP/M box as well trying to remember the text editor we used for everything. Anyway then you'd stream the code for the EPROM to the programmer over a serial cable. That was easier than using that Tektronix system. Plus we could write code for a wider array of CPU's, anything we could get an assembler for. We too also started using Z80's and 8051 Single chip computers. Damn, I haven't thought about any of this in a really long time. LOL
Good info on the scope, thanks.
