Coding Assembly on a 1980s Business Minicomputer

The ‘ol Hawk drive on the new mini Centurion has been giving me all sorts of grief, so it’s time to get a little more methodical in my troubleshooting approach. And one of the steps that I took to get a handle on the drive, was writing a little assembly program to automate some drive operations. I wanted it to setup the drive, do a format write, read it back, and tell me what the status was. Then increment to the next sector and do it all over again. Sounds easy, right? Well, assembly can trip even the most seasoned programmers up, but I think we skated by with relative ease this time!
