This'll make you chuckle. Dennis, once again, gave me a development system he had designed many years ago. Unfortunately there was no ROM. Being the rather meticulous and organised fellow that Dennis is, he had the source code for a monitor program called "Z-Bug" archived on a disk somewhere. Within weeks, he had located it and gave me a copy so I promptly copied it to the hard drive on my PC. Being the absent-minded and disorganised tool that I am, I forgot to back it up on another disk before formatting the hard drive for an OS upgrade. BUGGER!
