I took a NRI learn to computer mail order class back in the 80's. You got to build your own computer as part of the class and you had to manually enter the boot sequence in 8 bit binary to write to the eprom (couple hundred instructions). You could then attach a cassette player to the computer and boot into an OS they sent you. An amazing learning experience.
