Yes you didn't know z80..  but you was not new to assembly programming in
general! thats a big difference between you  and the average ti83 coderwannabe.
I did something like you. checked through the instructionset for tha z80 and
began codeing right away..
The thing with you and me is that we already knew how to code asm, before..
The average "I want to program for the 83"-guy has never written any asm and
doesn't have that basic knowledge.
For them, Matthews tutorial and such is a good resource.
