Having just read some #PDP11 assembler code, and similar in #m68k, #sparc, and #i386, my big take-away was that literally everything in computing would have been better in a world where #Zilog won.

👴🤖 Someone finally figured out that what modern hardware really needs is a dose of vintage UNIX for PDP11! Because why use cutting-edge tech when you can spend your day pretending it's 1970? 🤦‍♂️✨

I'm still trying to get my head around the fact that a Heathkit H11 was really a DEC PDP11 in disguise.

Here's my #throwbackthursday contribution. This was my bedroom in 1988.

The large rack contained my #pdp11 34, with an RL02 drive under it. In the corner is an ATT #3b1 (aka #unixpc), with an old #mac next to it.

The thing I really miss is the #dec #gigi terminal in the middle. Very hard to find now. It was a graphics #vt100 compatible terminal.

The PDP11 ran #rsts. There's 2 more racks full of hardware for it off to the left. Was like being next to jetliner when it was running.
