i could go into detail of how to do it if you wanted me to
my original statement was technically wrong but its interesting
Each line of basic started with a line number, and a line length. to find a line all it has to do is read the line number and to get to the next line all it has to do is go forward (n) amount of spaces in memory. it was very efficient but still slow. Its quite amazing how they managed to fit a fully functional version of basic into a rom of about 8k? was it 8k? my memory is rusty there.
i also made my bbc talk using two wires, a project lab, a microphone, and some assembler i tought myself.
blah blah blah. I still have THREE bbcs in my attic. heh. anyone want one :P
