Got my introduction to machine language programming with the "Penny a Day" exercise on a 1401 in 1962. Found out that if you don't do signed comparisons right the printer can print faster than you can shut the machine down. Think it was around 4 pages on a N1 (1000 lpm). I snuck this in as my job was card related and bosses didn't want us card guys messing with computers unless they told us to.

Back to it in 1978 with an early micro, SWTP 6800. Machine language again (tape was next to useless) until I got disk running and an assembler. Then I got a hard drive working along with drive switching as OS insisted that it was a 2 drive system running 6 floppy, 3 hard drive hardware. Got to hack hardware and OS to accomplish it.

Does anyone remember mole, the adventure game on IBM VM? Search for the secret password (if you remember it) and there are web-based versions.
