I did the same. When I did it we had only 32(it is k) of memory.
It was called memory then & it was in "core memory". No need
to refresh. We had 256k of drums & the good thing we were able
to do one word reads/writes. Out word was 18bits. Remember bits.
We wrote our own "micro operating system & coded in aboslute.
We use to call it "hooks" so that if we got a call during the
night that we had the hooks & could do it from home.
Those were the good old days. have a great Easter.
