My first PC was a Heath/Zenith Z-100, dual cpu and OS, ran both DOS and CPM. Yup, I'm a dinosaur.
IÂve got you beat Rich. I still have my Heathkit digital VOM. I did the Heathkit 80 in CP/M only. Learned to program in 8080 assembler and Z80 assembler. Bought a Microsoft FORTRAN 66 compiler and fully implemented RATFOR (Rational Fortran). I wrote a tic-tac-toe program that never lost and could reduce 5 year olds to tears. That was before I learned PL/1 and Cobol and turned Pro. Also built the dot matrix printer kit. DT __________________________________ Yahoo!
