Lau did a miraculous job with assembling sH code. He wrote macros under
a QL assembler to convert. Maybe something along those lines may help.
... so the Microchip code was completely QL produced, which was good.
This was mainly because the Microchip assembler had no linker.
I have said this before probably, but it is worth repeating. At one
stage we found the code crashing, and was likely a chip issue.
Microchip wanted to see the asm, so Lau had to re-write it as one file
under their assembler - a far from trivial job which took weeks I think.
It compiled to the same bin file, and they found *their* firmware bug
(interrupt handling).
