No problem: the Apple didn't only have a Z80 card, it also had a 6809
card.  And a 68000 card and a 8088 card.....
 
There were versions of the S-C Assembler which were cross assemblers
for other CPU's.  Bob S-C first released a 6809 version, then a Z80
version, then a 68000 version -- but never a 8088 version.
