I used to run W0RLI BBS software on a S-100 machine running CP/M. The
tape boot loader would then run the software off of 8" Floppy drives. I
could hear when a floppy was starting to give. It was time to replace
with a backup.
I thought I was the cats meow when I got a Xerox 820 motherboard.

Yeah.... How about the old IMSI S-100 bus computers with the bank of

switches on the front that you had to set then hit the load switch.
Rinse repeat for all of the instructions in the bootstrap then hit
Run.
After we did that, then it would load the program off of a paper tape
spool. No thanks, I'll stick with todays technology.
