After some fun 8080 assembly programming I decided to find and fire up the old Manx Aztec C compiler. Found some very useful links over at the Manx Aztec C Museum at https://www.aztecmuseum.ca/compilers.htm.
Back when I had a Kaypro 4 (I used for college), Manx Aztec C was my first introduction to the C programming language. Was fun to write a few programs again to get the cobwebs out. I did end up giving up on trying to link with the ran_ function in M.LIB so I wrote my own taking the sample from K&R. Also found some source for port.asm to read the Sense SW and pass the results back to a calling C function and then wrote my own pnlout.asm for a C program to call to display a byte on the panel display. Was fun mixing and matching C and ASM together in the same program.

Now off to build my IMSAI 8800 replica!
