I read through the listings today - and I like the way you
modularized and segregated the 12821A interface code and the Amigo
command set. I can see how implementing the CS/80 version will be
relatively easy and and how you'll be able to re-use 70% of the same
code.

Kudos for excellent structure and implementation 8)
