Me too, and I've still got the glossy book about playing with the
SDK-85.

Me either, but these aren't op-codes.  Just draw out the binary
equivelent on a page, somewhere.  Concentrate on the 1s.

That's it...  You have to be able to work out how to put your situation
into programable conditions, or conditional language, if you like.
Conditions that take into account all the variables, simulataneously.

successfully, too.
