8085, yeah it was my first. Soon graduated to 8-bit AVR from there. I remember my professor shutting me and my friends down for progressing a little too fast. He wasn't convinced and thought we were not fully understanding the architecture and trying to act smart. We convinced him otherwise and he let us be. In fact he himself got us two more 32 bit hardware platforms (approx. thousand euros each) for messing around.
CONFESSION: the truth is that we did not fully understand the architecture. We only just had a bit of working knowledge then ;-)

Wow, that's a great recollection! I wish I'd be learning that kind of stuff back in the days. Are you a software engineer?
Electronics and then Robotics
