That was wonderful. That equipment is 2 or 3 generations older than my first experiences, but I remember some of the same fiddly nature when doing bare metal (well cross assembler) programming in the late 1970s on a TI-980B that had a card reader, tape, a small removable disk, and some sort of terminal. Maybe a silent 700? I don't quite remember. It was fun at the time.
