bootstrapping from ECHO

Hope I typed it in properly then...

Here's something that looks a bit like a DEBUG with a symbol table:

Robert Ford Denison, "A 2K Symbolic Assembler for the 6502"
http://www.6502.org/source/monitors/2ksa.pdf

The best part, though, is how the cover art looks suspiciously more  
EE than CS.  Why?

> Cover: Schematics for a 5V, 3A regulated power supply and a 1K x 8  
> read/write memory block.  The power supply and three such memory  
> blocks can be added to the basic KIM-1 microcomputer to provide the  
> 4K RAM required by this assembler.  Parts are available from Jameco

(... and then Appendix A includes a discussion of building a  
keyboard, along with suitable driver code)

In 2011 I was too lazy to travel a few hundred meters to get a  
reasonable keyboard; apparently in 1979 bootstrapping included  
breaking out the soldering iron!
