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.
