It should be quite easy because the original 8088 was made to look like 8080 meaning the source-assembler-format is the same so you actually only need to substitude text to convert it! (Intel has some papers that explain how to do it). The Z80 is a superset of the 8080 as 8088 is a superset of 8080, so if you can get your code from Z80 to 8080 using the same method and from 8080 to 8088 your problems is solved! Except for on thing! Z80 has more commands than 8080 and 8080 has some special features that isn't included in 8088 but the most of the job should be faily easy... :-) >Thanks in advance, Your welcome Leif Andrew Rump, Ambrasoft A/S, Roejelskaer 15, DK-2840 Holte (Denmark) UUCP: leif@ambone.dk, phone: +45 2424 111; ABC BBS: +45 68 00 544 (2:505/38) Please note the node-change: Ambone, Italian for a pulpit (The following interpretations emerged Am_bone, Ambrasoft A/S bone when Ambone was put down on paper and Amb_one, Ambrasoft A/S #one accepted - they are solely mine!!!!!) ...
