Hi
Most of the early compilers and assemblers ran on something
other than a 8080 based machine. They would cross compile
and make paper tape. This would then be read into the 8080
machine. So, in reality, the may be more realistic than you'd
think.

I know. But what I mean is that it's just a PDP-8 sitting on a table, no
teletype, drives, anything. The machine's not even turned on. Just the
machine with the lid open and no tools within sight.
