I'm well pleased with it. I was able to finish an F84 project in a month on
it, from never having written anything for that box before. The stopwatch is
great, and the I/O simulation is very good. I think maybe the number of
steps is a bit limited, but that's not a huge deal.  I'd like to see the
ability to breakpoint on modification of a location (If it's in there, I
missed it)  That's something I miss from emulator-land.

I've got the PicMaster, but no '84 pod for it. :(

Can an 84 expert tell me, what the PCLATH is good for on the '84?  It seemed
to get in my way a bit, and looking at it, it didn't seem to perform a
useful function. My assumption is that it's an "appendix" left over from
some other flavour of device that has more ram or something..  No flames
please, I've only ever written for the one pic, and time dosen't permit much
"exploration". I pretty much get a project, and learn the platform as I go.
