The mini-memory cart has 4k of CPU RAM and a line-by-line assembler, no text editor.

It also has no disassembler. I spent many many hours dumping the ROMS using easy-bug and disassembling them by hand. Many happy hours.

Thanks for the correction. From my link:

> Each source statement you enter is immediately assembled into object code and stored into memory. Some source code is retained in a nine-page text buffer. You can scroll the screen to review previously entered lines of source code by pressing the Up- and down-arrow keys.

I gave up on this system pretty quick -- with so little space for your code, it just wasn't worth so much trouble.
