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 @brouhaha Z80 is as new and as old as I get with ASM these days.

7090 is closer to 6502 assembly, being rather limited. ;)

(I was a 6502 kid. Learning 709 assembly looks fun.)

kinda vaguely, if you squint just right.
