Hey, I did that! Well the bootloader, at least -- on Digital PDP-8,
PDP-11, HP 2100, hp21mx, General Automation SPC-16, ...
And probably others I can't remember offhand. And the bootloader loaded
the absolute binary assembly language program from the paper tape.
Until later, when NASA went deluxe and bought the 14" 5MB hard drives.
Then I had much longer bootloaders to key in.
