I got started with the MC6800 (actually the MC6802). I wire wrapped a chip
with a bunch of 1kx4 RAMs and a Motorola MIKBUG ROM. I used the 6800 cross
assembler at The Source, an early consumer oriented time share service. I
built a 300bps modem and dialed from San Luis Obispo CA to Ventura CA, the
closest Telenet dial-in point. On weekends I paid $7 per hour for the
phone call and $5 per hour for use of the Source.
