Hp 55 and compucorp 326/392

[Katie Wasserman]

Interesting find, but other than the reference at the bottom of the document it has nothing to do with the Compucorp/Monroe 326. You must have really been digging for stuff!

Programming simple RPN machines is indeed a lot like assembler. Many years ago when I taught a beginning computer course, I wrote a 6 or 7 instruction assembly language simulator in BASIC so that I give low-level programming assignments to my students without them having to learn the operating system/editor/assembler in RSTS/E. But I probably should have made them all go out and buy HP-10C's (they had just come out) to do them on. Not only would they have been able to do the "homework" at home, they'd now have a collector's item worth hundreds of dollars.
