minus-squaredavel [he/him]@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·edit-25 months agoI never did get very far with the TRS-80 Editor Assembler, but that was my first exposure to such things. I also remember the BASIC code for the Dancing Daemon which was replete with PEEKs and POKEs, such that much of it was written in machine code.

We created the editor/assembler that peeked to see what was there and display it in Assembly, Hexadecimal, and ASCII. You could edit whichever version you wanted and it would Poke it into RAM. You could also save swaths to a file.
