Video

Took me a moment to realize that your video was mirrored.

the amber CRT is so cool

You don't need special routines for that. Google "4tH compiler", choose Sourceforge, tab "Code" and navigate to "trunk-4th.src-apps-basic". The program you're using is sinewave.bas - but with integer trig functions: *SIN(), COS(), TAN().* the sinwav2.bas and sinwav3.bas don't even need those. You can even emulate a whole slew of transcendental functions in integer math, but in practice you need 64 bit wide integers. See fraction.bas if you're interested.

Dickrolled!! 😂

Great👍

wow... i had some very strong flashbacks to my high school years. nice!

Apple ][e \4/ life!!!!!

I'm intensely jelly. An old friend gave me his old SYM 1 with an ASR33 teletype. Eventually tossed the tty (probably shouldn't have but it wasn't practical at the time to hold onto it and was kind of self-conscious about firing it up whenever M&D were trying to watch TV one floor below me) and eventually donated the SYM1. Kicked myself later for not finding a way to do serial connection via another machine like my C64. Almost wired up an alphanumeric keyboard and created my own keyboard driver, but reliable program storage was a b***h. If I recall though, I think one jumper setting will allow you to boot directly to a serial connection, bypassing the onboard keyboard. One fun thing I did get working was the example oscilloscope marquee-style display in of the most dog-eared sym1 manuals.

Very good ! I worked on VAX 7000 Cluster. Best regards, GalileudoLinux.

Thank you for your video. I got a SYM - 1. Haven't connected to a laptop yet. Done quite a bit on the aa connector. Spent hours trying to get the on board display to what I want. In the end I found you have to unlock some protected memory..

The beauty of basic. It's good on the eyes.✌️

Well done!

That looks better than I expected it to. Nice!

Update: After replacing the 2114 RAM it now boots. The 65xx Chips are all okay. 6502 MOS 1Mhz CPU (Rockwell) 6522 Complex Interface Adapter (Synertek) 6532 RAM-I/O-Timer (RIOT) (Synertek)

You’ve got a typo in the title…

The voice gives me Fallout vibes.

My grandfather added a DAC to his C1P, probably using the same modification. I've got most of his program tapes, and IIRC they include a program that plays the Stenka Razin melody. There's a chance I've already rescued it, but can't remember off-hand. I'll get back to you :)

I love it too!

That's excellent my friend ! I worked with VAX7000 OpenVMS ...

jajajaja i liked this video

Damaged fly-back transformer?

👍

You could totally make it sing by having a control voltage into the pitch circuit. You can get that control voltage from an Arduino or synthesizer with a CV output jack. If you ever get it to work, you should totally have it sing “Daisy Bell”, just like the old IBM computer!

I suspect the Electron won because Sophie Wilson is a freaking genius!

So chill

Fond memories of grabbing a snack while a program loads. We’re so spoiled now.

Keeping it real!

Awesome. The ball moves quite quickly :)

Check out my superboard ii to portable “laptop” build I just finished and posted on the OSIWeb general discussion forum :)

Best regards from me and my OSI C1P in Christchurch, New Zealand... I won't give away which contestant we were cheering on! ;)

KEEN1.EXE ! Greatest Game of All Time! My First PC Game, Love It!

:-)

You know what? That machine needs to run Doom... :-)

This brings back so much memories, my workstation at work for many years in the 1990s was a AlphaStation 200 4/100

Many years ago, I used to play "Striker" on my XT clone. Then I got a 386 and there was no way I could play Striker on it, as it was just too fast!

This is great!. Didn't know it was possible. I have an AlphaServer ES45 that I'm yet to tinker with. This could be a fun thing to try with it.

This feels like using a Space Shuttle to go to the corner store for a bottle of milk...

I'm impressed. I really didn't think anyone would have bothered with a decent DOS emulator for OpenVMS. I was exposed to VMS shortly after DOS. While I preferred DOS and later *NIX, I really did like the versioning filesystem they used. I liked the window manager, though I couldn't tell if it was TWM or MWM. Is SoftWin limited to 640x480 and standard mode, or is it similar to DOSBox?

Let's see Wolfenstein 3D!

Fun vid. The people responsible for killing Alpha have escaped justice for far too long.

“hello i am very sorry”

Very cool! Definitely want to see games on this. I was hoping you were going to run Doom!

It was sugar on my energy bill.

crazy! where can i find the midi?

from microbit import * display.scroll("That sounds awesome!")

The thing I miss about these old systems is the social part. You could run a system status and see dozens of people and projects blasting away in timeshare, sense the system start to creep as new batch loads came on. You could message and collaborate with people online, hold late-night bullshit sessions. A sort of late-70's social media. I even once saw a continuous system status display being used as a marquee to announce scores in a campus basketball game.

32Mb RAM and not swapping all the time to disk. Now that's a stable OS.

I wonder if this is the terminals they use on Super Earth? 😸

Nice terminal! Please make a pull request when you're done

My freedom 100 is currently undergoing a complete rebuild most of the large cap’s in the power supply, bled out😂
