That's "ZX Spectrum"... can this assembler output "tape image" (TAP or TZX)
files for use with an emulator?

(I could also add ZX80, ZX81, TS1000, TS1500, TS2068, TC2048, TC2068...)

And, AFAIK, the Gameboy's CPU isn't exactly Z80 - it's missing at least the
IX and IY registers and the corresponding instructions.
