This brings back fond memories. Applications running on the main computer
downloaded custom code to run on the Blit--this was the biggest
challenge--writing an application to run on two machines at once, with two
different OS's, different hardware and different endian-ness. When it was
working, it was great, but debugging new code could be a real challenge.
