I used to run SubLogic Flight Simulator I on the TRS-80 Model I and
III, as well as the Apple II. I'd be *very* surprised to find that the
porting base was the 8086 assembler code, since I don't believe the
chip was available at the time (I have a very low serial numbered
Model I :-).  Perhaps <carroll@s.cs.uiuc.edu> can enlighten us, having
worked there?
