I can't believe the 21MX M or E user guide
isn't online, but I
don't see it anywhere. You'll definitely need that book!

Hi Jay
It seems like there is some manual on Al's site that describes
the 2100 instructions. As I recall, there was nothing specifically
for the 21MX, though.
Yes, I found that, and now have a printed copy. I was more interested
in finding instructions on how to *enter* the instructions into the
computer via the frontpanel. :)
Now that Jay has helped me with that, it's time to try to make a test
program and run it.
For the sake of anyone on the list who's interested, I've made up two
simple programs to test my ability to comprehend the manuals. :)
I'm sure they're probably not the most efficient way to do it, but they
were the best I could do in a couple hours, starting from zero HP
assembly language knowledge. :) Also, I'm sure I'll add to it as I
spend more time playing with the machine.
The programs' sources are at:
