You will absolutely need a video monitor that can show decent 80 columns
display. I use a monochrome Apple monitor. I used Merlin Pro with dual 5.25"
disks for years to do all my assembly programming. This system is entirely
workable and practical.

(And you know that must be true because 99% of all Apple software ever
written was done this way)

I have since upgraded to a Compact Flash, solid state system. Having a
Transwarp accelerator is very nice for assembly time.
