The Motorola 68K was nearly ideal for assembly programming. You're lucky to have learned on it.

Oh very much so, 68K was great. Even better, at my first job we had a custom 68K-based embedded device and no source-level debugger, so you could only debug in assembly. That reinforced everything I had learned just a few years before. Our next device was MIPS-based, and MIPS was a great RISC system to learn on. I count myself very blessed.

For someone attempting to learn 6502/10 assembly hows the C64 for this?
