@ve7fim@mastodon.social @szescstopni@qoto.org In 1980, I went back to school to do computer science. My major assignment was to write a bootstrap loader for a PDP-8. I toggled it in from the front panel. It ran a paper tape reader. Then I wrote a floppy disk controller for it, on an IBM 360, which punched it to paper tape for the PDP-8 to read. Other students then got to write parts of an OS The U if Alberta had been given a 6 different mini computers with no software, so that's what they did with them
