(UPDATE: I think i've got this one answered, thank you everyone!)

People of mastodon!

Super weird question, but ...

... is anyone out there conversant in Assembly for a 1960s-era IBM 7090, or machines of that lineage?

I'm working on an article that includes some Assembly of that vintage ...

... and want to make sure I'm describing what it does correctly

if this describes you or someone you know ...

... hit me up, I'd love to tap your expertise!

@clive I think I have ran into reading some 7090 code, as historic artefacts, when I was into the Space Race hardware, but I haven't had a chance to write any. You can probably find somebody who has written code for it, but if not, ping me, and I'll try to help.

Also, #/retrocomputing.
