MicroData
Reality machines were firmware implementations of Pick
(Reality), not software implementations. As a result, you couldn't
actually microprogram the thing as an end user (normally).
The Microdata 800 was the first machine to run reality, 4k of memory, 8
ttys, 2mb disk.
This seems preposterous, actually. Why have such a "large" disk and such a
"small" amount of RAM?
actually be running the tty's at the time and
followed the wires to be
sure. Had english, but no basic in the first days. all programming
with procs, batch, and english, plus custom assembly code.
What architecture for the assembler (custom?)?
