![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Several years later (in 1990, to be specific) I got my first “real” computer: an x286 /w 1MB of RAM and a 20MB hard disk.Īt that very same time I was taking a class in the university that required you to learn (on your own) x86 assembly language, so I did… and I loved it, and one of the things I loved the most is that the more assembly language you learn, the more you understand the inner-workings of the computer you’re working on. It was cool and it was a nice way to familiarize myself with all the “hidden secrets” (thanks to the Transactor Book of Bits and Pieces #1) the C64 had, without having to rely on a bunch of PEEKs and POKEs. One of the first programs I wrote for the C64 was an “assembler interpreter” that substituted its default Basic-based one. This coincided with me having the Commodore 64. ![]() Then, I learned about a programming language known as “assembler” or “ assembly“. I simply wanted to do things that its Basic implementation couldn’t do. The important thing here is that the Casio Pocket Computer had to be programmed using a minimalist version of Basic and, for the most part, it did the job. The first program (if you wanna call it that) I wrote was in a Casio Pocket Computer I then moved to a TRS-80 and then a Commodore 64 later the 128, and then an XT, and even on an HP 28 and on a 48 and… well, you get the picture: I’m old. I remember the time I used to know the 8088/8086, inside out! X8086NetEmu, an 8086 emulator written in VB.NET ![]()
