As the proud owner of one of @tomjennings awesome #fz80 boxes, I'm reviving my #retrocomputing interest after a 30 year break🤓 In the process of porting my simple libc (to underpin my C compiler in progress), I'm wrapping up BDOS calls to simulate the dozen unix syscalls it uses. It's difficult! Maybe my lack of #bdos, #z80 , #cpm? Any advice on whether to plough on, or if I'm approaching it all wrong? Also do folks typically cross compile or have a C toolchain on device?
