@kenshirriff Thx for the info, Master Ken! It was a dream come true when I visited the CHM in May 2013.
I wish I can do it again some fine day in the future. It would be amazing to then be able to meet & greet & hang out a bit with you and the „gang“ around #CuriousMarc. Until then I‘ll play with my #PiDP8 and maybe oder & build a #PiDP11 or even #PiDP10 kit.
Have a great Sunday!
@rzbrk Mein Informatik LK Lehrer (damals, Mitte der 80er) war der Knaller und wir hatten sowohl eine PDP 8/e, als auch eine PDP 11/23 in der Schule! Damals war ich allerdings eher auf dem Turbo Pascal Trip (BGI Treiber für EGA Grafik!
) und konnte mit diesen geschichtsträchtigen Maschinen von #DEC nicht viel anfangen.
Würde er noch leben, hätte er *sicher* auch eine #PiDP8 und/oder #PiDP11 zuhause! #computerhistory #digital #pdp8 #pdp8e #pdp11
@gpowerf Well, it really gives you an idea of just how powerful modern machines are. SIMD is wonderful, but the fact that a classic machine like the #IBM1401 can be simulated in its entirety, computationally and visually, including spinning tapes, card punches and #blinkenlights on a modern laptop, without it breaking a sweat, really brings it home. Same with the #PiDP11.

No, I'm not logged into this PDP-11/70 from my Z80 "personal computer" kit to change my grade in Biology class. But I am logged into the BSD 2.11 Unix that is currently running on it using serial-to-telnet capability that understands Hayes-like modem commands.
