1. Yeah..which assembly language?

I haven't done it in a while, but I can do it if I have a list of what all the codes mean. We did some Motorola chip in college (I can't remember, but my husband would remember what it is called) and also PIC.

Those skills haven't done a whole lot for me. I'm a stay at home mom.

2. Depends on the machine.

Have written code for about a dozen different machines, all currently obsolete. (supposed my 8080 code would run on a pc, if reassembled. The machines had the same operations, but different binaries)

In terms of volume of code produced, my personal ranking would be Vax, pdp-11, 8080, CDC-6xxx, 68k, pdp-8, pdp-10, ibm-370. (all but the last two, I actually was paid to do). Can read (but never had to write) the code for most of the popular unix/risc boxes. Personal favorite was the various lisp machines, for which nobody wrote assembly code, but everybody read it via the debugger)
