[QUOTE="Phil Wainwright, post: 77367, member: 4558"] I used to know where I stood with the old systems, ha, 16K ram? tsk, you kids, what on earth do you need all of that for? :D I used to service one piece of kit that had a 16 BIT core memory... ferrites with sense wires... :D Proper computers... Even realigning heads on taper drives used to be simple... write a series of 1 across the width of the tap, sprinkle iron filings across it, and then use a ruler to see which were not in line.... Ah, the good old days :D I can even remember some of the old mnemonics for Z80.. if I recall correctly, JP XXXX was jump to, with no return and CA XXXX was in effect the gosub command...... happy days :) [/QUOTE]
