I've sometimes wondered what kind of development systems were used for
those early 1980s home computers. Unreliable, slow and small storage
media would've made it pretty awful to do development on target
systems. I've read Commodore used a VAX for ROM development so they
probably had a cross assembler there but other than that, not much idea.
