thanks to mungo the attempt through the colossal cave on the PDP-8/e was nearly successful! would you participate in a second live stream to get us through to the end?

Another shot of the early PDP-6 at the mill with the mini console but now with additional support for the KSR 33 Teletype on the table. The person is likely writing a bug report missive to Kotok .

The Atari ST computer celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.
I ended up a bit down memory lane in this thread ... https://social.wildeboer.net/@jwildeboer/114618929224354083 (thanks @jwildeboer )
And then I stumbled across a bit of computer heaven ..... https://sidecartridge.com/
»This is an awful language. Don't program in INTERCAL«
@adventofcomputing is talking about his work on bringing the original INTERCAL72 compiler from 1973 back to life again. Podcast recommendation, enjoy: https://adventofcomputing.com/?guid=b08792b4-21c6-4ada-a5d5-3ba868055a09 #vintagecomputing #techhistotry #intercal #podcast
Some of you probably remember WAIS. An Internet search engine from the Gopher era (more specific: a search protocol). TIL: Thinking Machines (those with the massive red blinkenlights servers) were the main driver and developer of WAIS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wide_area_information_server #vintagecomputing #techhistory #wais #thinkingmachines #connectionmachine
Time to cast a wider net, but I'm not a fan of the "throw 58 hashtags at it to see what sticks" shotgun approach, so I'll just ask the handful of #PERQ nuts still around to look to their left, look to their right, and point out the person who might have the PNX sources or documentation I seek. (If it's neither of them, maybe it's YOU! Go get that dusty old box of 8" floppies from the back of that shelf and bust out the Catweasel.)
Because surely someone, somewhere, remembers SERC, the 1980s, Chilton, RAL, ICL Dalkieth, PNX, etc. -- and squirreled away some docs, or diskettes, or even a whole PERQ with *some* information about the "C-Codes" instruction set and virtual C machine architecture of PNX. NMOC? Bletchley Park? Beuller? Anyone? There can't possibly still be concerns about throwing a copy of the sources over the transom 40 years on for research and preservation.
In the meantime, reverse engineering the kernel's microcode debugger is arduous and painstaking. Here's where we're at after a floppy or hard disk boot: both halt in a similar manner, somewhere at or before attempting to tekload the updated Z80 firmware. I'll get there, eventually, through sheer doggedness. But PNX kernel hackers of yore, lurking in #vintagecomputing, long free of ICL's closed-source bloody-mindedness, chime in anytime. :-)
Hey everyone!
I’ve been MIA for a while, had some life-changing events recently and wound up relocating to another city. Anyways I’m back in the hot seat, come watch me deprive this $12 Value Village MacBook of a peaceful death:
could we have this Commodore SuperPET SP9000 running at PaCommEx NW June 21st & 22nd in Seattle? we’re going to try!
Oh come on! I read this assuming they got it running on the front-mounted 180x32 backlit LCD display!
