Really? many commenters here are talking about actually entering raw hex (and calculating branch offsets by hand (!)).

- eb0la 10y agoIn my case the pain pointi was loading the assembler from tape drive for about 5 minutes. Fortunately the assembler did the offset calculation for me. If you coded something in basic with some machine code, you had to type a lot of DATA statements in decimal or hex. This was then read and POKE'd in memory and CALLed from basic. Quite tedious.
- qwertyuiop924 10y agoYeah, but a lot of people actually didn't have assemblers at the time.
