  1. I just noticed that the Intel i960 (1988) bitfield instructions support field widths from 0 bits (!) to the full word size of 32 bits. This reminds me of the DEC PDP-10 architecture (1967) byte instructions, which also operated on bit fields called "bytes", of widths ranging from 0 bits to the full word width of 36 bits.

  11. @larsbrinkhoff got into the act with Javascript and PDP-10 assembler versions. The sources are on Github, and a video of the PDP-10 is on YouTube.

    (Lars, what display are you emulating on the '10?)

  21. @flyingsaceur @argv_minus_one
    TOPS-10 had that kind of paging built into the TTY driver. Configurable on/off and line count using the SET TTY command. I always missed that on Unix.

  26. Well @retrobytes goes very nerdy¹ about the DEC PDP-10 and builds a replica in the form of a PiDP-10 in an epic soldering montage.

    He also waxes lyrical about the TOPS-10 OS for the PDP-10 and it's ancestry to CP/M, MS-DOS and via another route to Microsoft BASIC and a lot lot more more!

    Connections going every which way that even James Burke would appreciate 😁

    ¹ Clearly the best kind of nerdy 🙂👌
