For a while I've wanted to mess around with Machine Code on the Spectrum, but the thought of using with Zeus or Devpac on a real Spectrum with its limited interface was a major obstacle. So here's how to set it up for the Apple Mac. There's plenty of PC guides out there, but as good as they are I struggled to get it working on my devices.

Useful info:

https://www.jamieonkeys.dev/ - Great blog from Jamie which really helped me get everything up and working.

https://brew.sh - Mac Package manager - handy to reinstall the bits Apple have removed!

Thanks to Marco De Boer on the World of Spectrum Facebook group for posting the info in the first place.
