By way of example:
I had a machine back in the day that my dad and I wire-wrapped together. On
the front panel were 17 switches:
8 of them were toggles for the address
8 of them were toggles for the data to go in that one address
1 of them was a momentary switch that put the data in the byte of memory.
We hand-entered about a page and a half of boot loader, and the boot loader
was code to read some other stuff from paper tape. We'd originally
hand-entered all of the stuff on the paper tape, of course, and the code to
write that stuff out to the paper tape machine.
