Ah yes, the 1802.  This little gem has to be used to be believed.
I actually designed some data acquisition systems which used the
fool thing.  The  interface to other devices was quite ugly.
However, my giggles were only matched by the cries of pain and horror
of the programmers.  For most (all) of them, it was their first
experience with assembler (ex Fortran types),  and cross compilation.
When they got a development system that used the 1802, they ran some
assemblies (using paper tape!), and then all went out and got drunk.

Men were men, and chips were chips in those days, boy.  None of this
"user-friendly" cr*p!
