I
have developed programs these systems in the past:

CBM 64/128,
AMIGA
Tatung Einstein TC01,
Einstein 256
Tandy 1000
MSX

PCW
& PPC
Acorn BBC,
BBC Master,
Electron,
Atom & Archimedes
Nascom 1 & 2
Texas Instruments TI-99a
Sharp MZ-700
Apple II & Macintosh
IBM PC and the rest is history!
Most of the coding on there
older systems were possibly developed in the standard
programming language installed in the ROM which would
possibly be BASIC apart from a few machine code based
machines such as Einstein, QL, Sharp MZ-700 which
started up at MOS level which I have also developed code
for as well based around the Z80, 6502 & 68000 range of
processors.
()
basically means I used to use the base programming
language in ROM.
()
basically means I used the internal ROM Debug manager
supplied or Assembler.
()
other
software used as part of various projects.
