A friend had a TRS80 business machine, I learned Z80 assembly language, basic , and cobol.
I had a Heathkit Zenith HZ100, an s100 bus machine that had an 8085 and an 8088 processer.
It would boot cpm on the 8085 and msdos on the 8088.
I had basic, fortran, and pascal on it.

"...fortran..."

.

I took Fortran in college and luckily I had just previously purchased one of the
first IBM PCs and a Fortan compiler.

There was no hard drive in this thing, just 2 full height 5 1/4 inch 360K floppies.
So compiling a Fortran program was an exercise in swapping disks -
again and again and again...
