There are some nice clean photos in that presentation. So, it was binary with some hexadecimal addressing. I like the slide entitled "How to test Machine Language Using a Program Listing Using Toggle Switches". That's pretty hard core. I'm surprised they didn't at least use component displays with LEDs to show the values rather than reading it straight off some blinkenlights. Maybe those weren't around yet or were too expensive. -Swift
