  1. πŸ‘΄πŸ”§ Ah, the thrill of dissecting a 40-year-old computer from the Stone Age of technology! πŸ€“πŸ” Because, you know, we've all been dying to understand a French-built #minicomputer that couldn't be bothered with a microprocessor. Truly, the pinnacle of scientific inquiry: what did the ancient astronauts do without TikTok? πŸŽ’πŸš€

  6. 🎩 Ah, yes, because nothing screams cutting-edge AI like dusting off a '70s #minicomputer and feeding it paper tape. πŸ’Ύ It's as if someone thought, "Why build a rocket when we can reinvent the wheel with stone tools?" πŸš€πŸ”¨

  11. Spent some time this monday preparing the machine including installing 2.11BSD to the M2322 hard drive, as my DIY disk emulator showed some reliability issues at #why2025 . I'm still in the process of applying the latest updates to the system, as rebuilding kernels and part of the userland on a 1MB RAM, less than 1 MIPS system takes a fair bit of time.

    Once I'm done updating the system, it will be at patch level 499 - the latest available for #211bsd , released on January 14th 2026!

    If you want to play around with this system, visit the open day at RevSpace The Hague next saturday:
    revspace.nl/OpenDag2026

    I will be attaching a few physical terminals to it (including a VT55 and VT100!) as well as allowing telnet from the local network.

    Besides this, if you do visit and want to trade PDP-11 parts, I have a large collection of mostly QBUS cards that I want to part with, and am looking for PDP-11/84 (PMI) and PDP-11/44 (EUB) memory boards as well as spare CPU cards for the /44.

  26. I've put a gallery of photos I took during the INIT HELLO Apple II conference at the System Source Computer Museum this past weekend online for anyone who might like a look at some of the festivities.

    What a wonderful time it was! Can't wait for next year!

  28. I've had minicomputers on my mind lately, particularly the old PDP-11. I just came across a special issue of the Bell System Technical Journal about a minicomputer Bell Labs built to shoot down nuclear warheads
