Devo dire che sono rimasto piacevolmente sorpreso ... Un dispositivo veramente notevole ... Tutto sommato niente male per un'architettura hardware con 45 anni alle spalle ...

Hans HübnerI managed to get FIG FORTH running as standalone program on the DCJ11 SBC that I built yesterday. To upload standalone binaries to the board using the ODT monitor, the LLM generated me a handy little uploader. <a href="https://github.com/hanshuebner/odt-uploader" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/hanshuebner/odt-uploader</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/pdp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pdp</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/forth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#forth</a>

root42I built the DRAM Tester by <a href="https://mastodon.social/@tubetime" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@tubetime</a> -- it works a treat! Mostly... Some of my 41xx chips test as bad in the march test, but I think they work just fine in machines...? Also, I wonder if I can hack the 4116.pio test program to also test 4108. It should be as easy as A6 being not connected, and only testing 8192 bits, right?EDIT: I wonder how the 4116 actually adresses all 16k bits. That would require 14 lines. It has 7, so send first 7, latch, next 7 -> done? And the 4108...? <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a>

Silicon Underground (Dave F)Making money giving away free stuff was a common dotcom-era business model. But Cyberrebate took it to an extreme, giving away actual physical merchandise.

Und dazu braucht man keine Maschinensprache und keinen Assembler, sondern nur den gesunden Menschenverstand, wie man ihn auch sonst beim Programmieren einsetzt. Gemeint sind die »benutzerdefinierten Funktionen«.
