@auxonic@ottawa.place @BrunoLevy01@fosstodon.org @cstross@wandering.shop I learned its assembly on a Soviet clone :)
Not even assembly, l was writing machine code in octal numbers :)

@bonkers@nerdculture.de @auxonic@ottawa.place @cstross@wandering.shop did that on an Apple][+ (its ROM monitor had a disassembler but no assembler!)

@bonkers@nerdculture.de @auxonic@ottawa.place @BrunoLevy01@fosstodon.org @cstross@wandering.shop As a student I did a bit of -11 assembly — great instruction set! The manual was a joy to read. (That was a time when I read CPU manuals on my commute to the university and SunOS manpages in bed before sleeping.) The code ran not on a glorious beast like this, though, but on a mere Pro 350.
