80s! Thinking about INPUT Magazine and the ill-fated Cliffhanger game they published as a type-in assembly code listing.

Although I never tried typing it in, the series of articles and their illustrations really fired up my imagination and got me excited about assembly ImageImageImage
I was a BBC Micro owner. Here's a tiny snippet of the reams of code you'd be given to type in on the beeb. Image
I loved the illustrations! Different artists and photographers would be commissioned on various months publications. ImageImageImageImage

Recently I've gotten really interested in the #Apple1. The forerunner to the much better known Apple II and the machine that originally launched @Apple in 1970s.

Here are some of the more interesting points on my adventure. #Thread
It's such a simple machine that a minimally technical article I read earlier this year had enough details to write a simple #emulator.

Which I ended up doing; my very first attempt at creating one. #MOS6502

Here it is running @stevewoz's original 256-byte "monitor" firmware/OS.
My emulator is just a console app with a command line to control the emulation.

The actual I/O text streams for the emulated machine are just pushed through a local socket connection.

#PuTTY works great as a front end.

A real Apple-1 would need a TV screen and keyboard.

Gillar ni den här tweeten, så får ni en tweet om hur det är att vara #blind i #Sverige. Upp till 150 st eller 2 dygn, vilket som kommer först.

Det är naturligtvis enbart baserat på mina egna erfarenheter.
1) I Sverige finns inga lagat som reglerar blinda personers tillgång till utbildning i Punktskrift. Många blinda personer är därför också analfabeter, kan inte rösta, får ingen samhällsinformation, etc.
2) För er nördar - punktskrift är en slags 6-bits binär kod.
