Cross-compilation/assembly. My first assemblers for the 8008 and

I had access to a IBM-1130. Fortran was favored over ASM.
Before that, well, have you ever coded in machine
code? IBM even
used to have coding forms for a few machines that were used to
facilitate that.
I am building a 12/24 bit cpu. I may have to hack together
a Cross-Compiler for my machine in Fortran IV for the the PDP-8
(SBC6120) I have here. Back to downloading more PDF manuals from
bitsavers and figuring how to configure my software.
