That's still the best reason to do it. It's a total immersion project
and once done there are few parts of the system that will not be
understood at the software (maybe hardware too) level.

Some of those I copied to Tim! I was useing them back when

I recommend MyZ80 as a starting point. Then work the hardware
dependent stuff iteritively on the target via serial download.
