Yep, I certainly wrote a lot of stuff just to get that Imsai going to.  A lot of it I had to assemble by hand, as I didn't have the assembler up & running yet.  Backthen, we knew our computers inside & out!  Ah...  Those were the days!  ;-) noranross wrote: Hi all First personl computer was one i built myself using a cmos chip the 6102. i built 1 k of memory using 2102's *8 . Burnt my own 1702 from a burner built by me as the bootstrap. It was amazing what we could fit into 1k of memory, including an assembler apart from the keyboard and video routines. those were the days. My first commercial was a Exidy sorcerer with 48k of ram WOW. On this i first had 2  8" floppy drives each floppy holding (I cant remember how much )but i used 1K sectors to get more on the diskette. we wrote our own drivers for the drives then.

I worked on many different systems, but my first personal computer was an Imsai 8080, which I bought 31 years ago. --  Use OpenOffice.org <http://www.openoffice.org> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message.
