Not exactly like the SuperNova puter I programed for my first programming job in 1972, but pretty darned close. I really miss toggling in the first 50 or so instructions to tell the computer how to read the disk drive so it could retrieve the operatinbg system since there wasn't any such thing as ROM (bootstrapping). Even more, I miss the blinking lights while the bugger was operating.
