I wrote code like this in 1997. First year in college, micro processing
course. So I wrote a simulator for the 6800 chip, and an assembler. So I
didn't have to wait every Saturday at 8:30am to run my code. The professor
wasn't impressed at all when I showed him my program.

I had a KIM-1 in the late seventies and for several years I would run into
other people who used one, but 1985 seems really late for programming on one
of these. For me, the KIM-1 was my first experience with programming and a
computer of any sort. It influenced my taste for low-level concepts, not only
through x86 assembly programming for graphics in the 90s but much later in the
lambda calculus and combinatory logic. I'm tickled that the KIM-1 is seeing
such a resurgence of interest.

It was late to be programming one but it was (a) what was available where I
was and (b) it had good I/O for the interfacing.
