[Coco] What was used before EDTASM+?

[Allen Huffman]

I have been working on a series of blog articles about the original CoCo OS-9 release in the 1984 Radio Shack catalogs. This was also the year a stock-64K model appeared to be “New for 1984”. (Was this really the first time Radio Shack sold a 64K CoCo?)

1984 was also when DISK EDTASM first appeared.

The ROM-Pak EDTASM+ has a 1981 copyright, and shows up in the 1982 Radio Shack Computer Catalog (RSC-6). I don’t see it listed in the previous 1981 edition.

So what were folks using to write assembly in 1980-1982 before this came out? Hand assembly?
