To the best of my recollection, on Xmas 1985, I got my first computer for Xmas: an Amstrad CPC 464 (Z80 @ 4.77Mhz 8/16bit CPU with 16bit addressing (64KB of Ram) and bank switching capability for more RAM).
It went downhilll from there :)
After learning BASIC of course, I learned Z80 assembly and programming, with the assembler and disassembler running from tape (which you had to slowly reload every time you got a crash). Good times... |
