None of them. Mine was a 24 bit mainframe (Elliott 4130) in 1967, where my job was debugging them so I had to learn to code. In ASM. On paper tape. In the snow backwards uphill both ways etc etc etc.

On going uphill both ways - my first 8 bit was one I designed and wrote the assembler for myself. 1973.
