# My First Assembly
was for an Ant Attack editor. The basic version took 30 minutes to compile a level. The assembly version completed so quickly I thought I must have made a mistake.

# I ran a company called Target Software in the early eighties.
I was given a copy of Ant Attack at a trade show. I think it was the only game I ever got to the end of. I remember you got a gold medal come up on the screen.

# I happen to be fiddling with Z80 assembly at the moment.
I have made a single-board computer with a Z180 chip and I am trying to get CP/M working properly on it. Old computer stuff = win.

# Sounds good.
I've done some PIC stuff myself. I never actually got to try CP/M. After the spectrum, I went onto mainframes for a bit before ending back in the PC world.
