  1. @rc2014 @electron_greg back in school we had a special, modular custom-bus based #intel8085 system to teach us about computers and programming.

    It also had a switch panel and I fondly remember looking up opcodes in a photocopied table so that I knew which value to "toggle" next on the switches before writing it to a memory address. Hands on computing, the real way.

    It was called #MFA (microcomputer für ausbildung - microcomputer for training) and it also ran CP/M and featured a #Siemens #SPS module (god, I hate SPS).

    It was this system I learned #intel8085 #assembler on.

    P.S.: I guess this baby and the fond memory I have of it made me fall in love with #rc2014 decades later ...

  6. Atlaids 8085 SBC Computer powered by
    ИМ1621ВМ85А (Soviet #intel8085 Clone) running 2,4 MHz. 8K RAM / 8K ROM, Serial console over FTDI232A.

    Nice toy to understand how computers work, learn assembler and fun with Tiny Basic...
    #retrocomputing is cool!
