Well, now that you mention ...
Fox 2/10 - bootstrap loader, of course, but also a 256 word (yup; didn't
know what "bytes"
were back then) a 256 word debug program that ran exclusively on keyboard

in the background to a running process control system.
There was no program development software available in the field, so in was
assembled with
pencil and paper.
