By coincidence, I'm also looking for a good assembler for the M100/200. Got a suggestion?
I found the book *8080 8085 Software Design* (Sams, 1978) by Christopher Titus, Peter Rony, David Larsen and Jonathan Titus is available at https://archive.org/details/80808085SoftwareDesign and the TEA book that I found is actually in Spanish(?) at https://archive.org/details/teauneditorassemblerresidenteper80808085/mode/1up I suppose the latter book has the same assembler listing for the TEA software even though the text is not in English. I didn't find the actual TEA software binaries anywhere.
