Comment Machine Language (Score 1) 633
There was no programming language for the NCR Elliott 405 that I first wrote programs for in the 1950's in Sydney, Australia. It was considered to be the first commercial computer in Australia. Everything had to be written in machine language because there was no compiler. The only software available on the machine were two programs named Roger and Albert both of which were on paper tape. Albert's only function was to set the computer up to read Roger which allowed one to create a program in assembler. The resulting program could the be punched out onto paper tape. I just wish that I could find the manual for it now but am unable to locate it anywhere.
