Chapter 4 — First Program at $4000
This chapter will assemble and run the first TEC-1G program.
Planned coverage:
- why MON-3 user programs commonly start at
$4000 - how
.org $4000differs from the platform-neutral examples in Book 1 - a minimal loop that proves execution without touching much hardware
- calling a simple MON-3 service, such as beep or delay
- using the listing to confirm addresses
- stepping the first instructions in Debug80
- returning to MON-3 or looping deliberately
The goal is a small program whose behavior is visible without needing a full hardware abstraction.
