My first programming was in the early 70's on an IBM 1620 - FORTRAN IV 
on punch card input.  As a graduate student in the mid-70s, I taught a 
senior level Electrical Engineering lab where we used Intel's Intellec 
8 (8008 based).  In the second year, we upgraded to the Mod 80 (8080 
based) version.  Both of these machines required you to enter a "jump 
to monitor" instruction from the front panel to boot them up (c8 00 e0 
or some such).  Then, you could use the Load command to read in a 
paper tape with the object code of the program.
