Subject: Z80 specific assembly
I wonder if anyone has taken some of the current, favorite PD
programs and replaced the 8080 compatible code with Z80 specific
ops to see if there is enough gain in either speed or size to
make the job worthwile. I am thinking along the lines of asking
authors if they might make Z80 assembly an option in their code,
if, indeed it makes it worth it. I wonder what effect this would have
on such programs as MODEM (MDM,MEX), NSWP, MLOAD, SD, etc....
I haven't an 8080 anywhere. (nor an 8085).
