       | This is one of the best ROM listings, I've ever seen: the
       | comments are informative and detailed, making it easy to follow
       | along! A great source for anyone interested in Z80 code or eager
       | to learn.

         | Same here, I had it checked out from the library continuously
         | for a couple of years and referred to it constantly. A terrific
         | explanation of a super cool piece of work, full of insights. I
         | later bought another ex-library copy that I still have.
         | 
         | That library was so good to me! (In Crook, County Durham in
         | north-east England) As well as providing what was probably, if
         | I'm really honest, the most fascinating technical book of my
         | programming career, it also had a load of LP records I wouldn't
         | have heard anywhere else - the Go-Betweens and Peter Murphy's
         | "Deep" I remember particularly.

       | and `Witchy`. There's something comforting about that.
