Tony! This is exactly the point I was making a few months ago about the
ZX81. At that time, you said you'd prefer to start with a Z80 and build up
from there, while I suggested that the ZX81 was a better starting point for
a homebrew system since the BASIC and video were built-in.

Care to clarify?
