All of my college peeps learned BASIC* while running the interpreter. We learned to fingerbone in the seq. to load from the tape, after the tape loaded I don't recall, but we then could get an OK prompt maybe from the BASIC interpreter. We used TeleType terminals w/paper rolls to print, with a tape reader. In parallel we learned Motorola MC6800 mach language on the new Heathkit trainers; our final task was to interface a speaker and play "Anchors Away" as my prof was an ex Navy instructor. *We learned BASIC, but by applying it to data and practical problems IIRC like physics of projectile motion, electrical like resistors, simple databases. Was a Pop Electronics reader from 1970 or so.
