Sean Haas @adventofcomputing has a new podcast episode out - the first of three about the #DEC #PDP11. In the first episode, he covers the evolution of the design of the PDP-11, from its orthogonal instruction set to the innovation of #Unibus.
Part two will cover #LSI11 and the third will discuss applications and derivatives of these chips.
Subscriber-only for now: https://www.patreon.com/posts/episode-163-ever-137192301
...but it'll show up on the open RSS feed soon enough: https://adventofcomputing.com
Sean's not active on the Fediverse but his output is consistently fresh and interesting - you never get the old regurgitated stories. He ought to get more attention.

2/ This is why I have never been a fan of Linux, people should be writing their own OSs 😜
As an aside, I found this #USENET thread with some familiar names from 1987 about porting Minix to the Atari - I assume that would have been the ST then.

1/ Just because, here's my LSI-11 desktop - It works, they used much better capacitors in those days.
Way back when, the LSI-11 was often used to teach people Operating Systems and Compiler Design, and in my CS degree in 1986 we'd fiddle with MINIX on these things, and deal with re-writing different low-level UNIX things. Life was much easier with only 50 instructions to work with.
