In my case it was a Sinclair QL, a 68008 (the 8 bits version of the 68K)
based computer. Very nice machine, lots of memory for its time (I ended up
with 640 KB), a graphical interface and multitasking OS. All in 64 KB of
ROM along with a very modern BASIC...

I cut my teeth on 68K assembler on this and was very happy. Boy, what a
deception it was the first time I read about 8086 assembler :-(

National Semiconductors NS32x32 processors were even nicer than 68K for
assembly programming.
