Z80 Console Assembly Hello World.TAP

; Configure this part:

DATAP: EQU #98 ; VDP Data port #98 works on all MSX models
; (TMS9918/TMS9929/V9938 or V9958)
; #80 works on SVI 
; (for other platforms you have to figure this out by your self)

CMDP: EQU #99 ; VDP Command port #99 works on all MSX models
; (TMS9918/TMS9929/V9938 or V9958)
; #81 works on SVI
; (for other platforms you have to figure this out by your self)
