mmm. Maybe. I can't say what you'd like, and I never had to use a keypunch, but I did start my career in the Age of the EPROM. I hated having to code, code no worky, unplug EPROM from circuit board, take erased EPROM from eraser and insert into programmer while putting used EPROM into eraser and pressing "ERASE;" taking programmed EPROM and plugging it into ZIF/LIF socket to start the debugging process again. And that was an order of magnitude faster than using punch cards. As soon as EPROM Emulators came on the scene I lobbied for us to buy one. $200 very well spent. If you want to torment yourself and build a Z-80 computer, I have a tube or so of Z-80 CPUs, some EPROMS, a couple tubes of SRAMS and the relevant books. All yours for the price of shipping. Sorry, I threw out the eraser about 20 years ago!
