When there is a return to nonvolatile memory? Consider a system like a PDP-8 with magnetic core memory. When you powered it on, memory had the same contents it had when powered off. You give the CPU an address of your favorite program in memory, start the CPU running, and you're off. Of course, if you don't have anything useful in memory, you've got to do something about that. Which is why, sticking with the PDP-8 family, the PDP-8i had the machine code (in octal) for a paper tape loader printed on the front of the system for you to toggle into core with your binary switches. https://www.pdp8online.com/pdp8i/pics/pdp8i_frontpanel.shtml?large https://www.pdp8online.com/pdp8i/pics/pdp8i_frontpanel.shtml...
