Hope I typed it in properly then...

Here's something that looks a bit like a DEBUG with a symbol table:

Robert Ford Denison, "A 2K Symbolic Assembler for the 6502"
http://www.6502.org/source/monitors/2ksa.pdf

The best part, though, is how the cover art looks suspiciously more  
EE than CS.  Why?

(... and then Appendix A includes a discussion of building a  
keyboard, along with suitable driver code)

In 2011 I was too lazy to travel a few hundred meters to get a  
reasonable keyboard; apparently in 1979 bootstrapping included  
breaking out the soldering iron!
