Added.

I'm puzzled why someone would want to program in this. It has its own language, and uses octal. I suppose in 1983 the various types of assembler were only starting to appear, and there was no dominant one yet.

Can anyone make it do anything useful? I'm finding this a bit impenetrable. I thought I was following the instructions but it's not playing!

If anyone can make it print "ZXDB" or do anything, please provide a snapshot as I'd like to use the screenshot.

Here goes, [mention]R-Tape[/mention] . That was harder than it needed to be :|

To print "ZXDB", press Enter, then type RUN, press Enter again, then type 1, then press Enter again
To count from 0 to 3, press Enter, then type RUN, press Enter again, then type 10, then press Enter again

Perfect. Thanks a lot. Added. I'd love to know what people did with this BITD.
