I didn't know the Poly 800 used an 80C85, that's the same chip in my
venerable Tandy Model 102. I sure wish I could program assembly, I
always wanted to turn the 102 into a sequencer with the MIDI expansion
I built from old magazine scans, but alas I'll probably never even get
around to trying it in BASIC. Oh well, it's a surprisingly powerful
chip.
