I once reverse-engineered the complete instruction set of the CPU in a pocket calculator with a built-in BASIC interpreter. That was fun. My disassembler and assembler BASIC programs are still functional today.


That sounds awesome. If you don’t mind, could you talk about what you did some more?


It's a Sharp PC-E500S. The BASIC has PEEK, POKE, and CALL (for running assembly) commands, which is all you need for a hacking orgy. I'm not sure you could even still get hold of that hardware today.
