To All,

Microprocessors have become so simple that it seems anyone can program them nowadays. But think of what it was like when the first processors came out and you had to program around noisy circuits and unreliable memory.

For example, here is a list of assembler commands that emulate the performance of the first computers. (They were found in old Deja View files.)

I remember that the 6800 had an un-documented op-code that was called HCF = Halt and Catch Fire by those that discovered it.
