So, the RC2014 is great. I can run Microsoft BASIC and program it from there, and as long as I am using a terminal emulator, I can copy & paste to save and load programs. Alternatively, I can write Z80 code using an online compiler then download it, copy it to USB stick, move it to my old Windows 2000 laptop (which has a parallel port) so I can burn it on to EPROM to see if it works, make adjustments and repeat with another EPROM.
I will be the first to admit, however, that this is probably not the most efficient workflow. Not to mention the time and effort involved in wiping the limited stock of aged EPROMS.
So, I am in the process of designing an SD Card based bootloader.
