Funny, I've only ever used it for quick bits of assembly (just a couple of
days ago, in fact), and to do things such as kicking off the formatter
embedded in the ROM on some controllers. It didn't even occur to me that it
probably has some dumping/loading abilities too! I'll dig some docs out...
My buddy had a few Sperry 5160-like machines, as well
as some PBM-1000's
(Micropro CP/M machine).? They were dumpstered immediately when he died 5
years ago.
Honestly I've always been a bit indifferent about the PC stuff (which is
probably why I've had these for around a decade and am only now really
looking at them) - I'd still rather save them when I see them, though (at
least up until the point where I run out of space - but "early x86 PC"
seems to have quite a following these days).
