I can see how the PDP-11 would have been a great machine to ease you into 6502 assembler. We used an actual PDP-11 in my assembly class in college, long outdated even then, because it has a super clean architecture, and the assembly language reflected that.
- eggy 6y agoYes, and the book progressed very logically, and with little fluff or handholding. I struggled to work each exercise. I am not a fan of programming books that try and tell a story, or some other gimmick to involve you in learning. I think 6502 is cleaner than 8088 or later assembly, but that may be bias due to my early years! And you needed to know octal!
