Isn't JRT Pascal the one that had really horrible reviews in the magazines

The
problem with the V20's 8080 emulation was that it was buggy (I
have a few MicroNotes on the subject and can even claim to have
discovered one of the bugs).
I wonder if it was only cetain chips. I ran cp/m 80 on a v20 for years.
