Programming the First Personal Computer: John Blankenbaker's Kenbak-1 (featuring the nanoKenbak-1)

The Kenbak-1 is often considered to be the first commercially available personal computer. The computer had no microprocessor, and instead carried out computation using TTL chips and serial shift-register memory. In this video I explore programming the Kenbak-1 using a modern recreation, the nanoKenbak-1 from Adwater & Stir, based on the work of the opensource Kenbakuino project. nanoKenbak-1 from Adwater & Stir: https://adwaterandstir.com/nanokenbak-1/ Kenbakuino on Github: https://github.com/funnypolynomial/Ke...

Programming Worksheets: http://www.kenbakkit.com/manuals/KENB... The Kenbak-1 is programmed in machine code. While mnemonics are available in the programming reference manual, and used on the program worksheets, each instruction had to be hand assembled for entry into the machine. This is the program that was explored during the video, in octal notation. It can be loaded in to Kenbak-1 JS using the Memory Loader button. // Bin to Dec Test Game (Ex. 4-3) 000 000 000 006 000 377 103 055 023 070 324 001 331 321 034 200 234 377 000 331 003 202 034 004 344 004 Here is the revised version of the program discussed in the video, including shortening of the program by removing the unnecessary noop instruction. // Bin to Dec Test Game (Ex. 4-3) // - one byte shorter 000 000 000 006 000 377 103 055 023 070 324 001 031 034 200 234 377 000 331 003 202 034 004 344 004 Other websites with information about the Kenbak-1: https://www.kenbak-1.net https://www.kenbak.com http://kenbakkit.com -- nano kenback 1, micro kenback 1, adwater and stir, add water and stir
