I had forgotten that the Columbia had a monitor. I haven't touched one of
those since my buddy sold his in 1985.

Unless you use a Zenith PC. They came with a monitor/debugger built into

I've always liked the monitor in my Columbia MPC series better than
Zenith's. It allows easy access to the disks, sector-by-sector, for (R)eads
or (W)rites. The Zenith makes you jump through hoops to accomplish the same
thing.
BTW, I never got into DEBUG much, but my all-time favorite program is DDT
under CP/M.
