I did lots of vanilla 8080, and all my Z80 work was in TDL/Xitan
syntax, which was an extention of the Intel 8080 language; I never
liked Zilog mnemonics, because they implied the order code was
orthogonal, when it was anything but. TDL/Xitan syntax simply
extended the mess Intel made in the first place.

I used Phoenix Software's PASM for PDOS, CP/M-80 and later MSDOS.
Still have it!
