On Wed, 1 Aug 2001,Pat Hildebrand scribbled on the wall in glitter crayon:
->When I saw the question about boot disks I figured that the answer
->would be very dependent on the computer because I know there were
->computers at that time that didn't use disks. However, the computer
->that I got in 1981 required a boot disk.
i started programming on IBM 1440s and 360/20s. on the 20 you had to dial
in
the IPL code to get it to read the first card.
->
->In fact that computer brings to mind a few other questions from that
->time. Before the introduction of the IBM PC, what was considered the
->operating system for business micro computers? What manufacturer made
CP/M [or is it CPM i've seen it written both ways.]
->What is the language that uses a turtle for teaching children about
->computers? What language was it based on?
LOGO but i don't remember what it's biased on. bit rot.;-)
