AJ .. I did not read the code to determine for myself but what is the
processor / instruction set that goes with the TSC assembler, 6800? I once
hand punched the entire TSC BASIC to a papertape so it could be read into
an Altair 680 via Teletype.  Given the date on the assembler, and their
BASIC, it is very possible that at that time TSC sold an assembler for the
6800 then.  It should not take long to determine what instruction set your
TSC doc pertains to.  I might have it in cassette for the Altair but I am
kind of busy to archive it unless no one has it otherwise.  Busy time of
the year.
