Hi folks,
I'm looking for ideas for a few small demo programs I want to write for
my Honeywell H316 minicomputer.
I have written a Mandelbrot demo program which plots on the ASR or line
printer - that's already very nice. Bu now I want to do more ;-)
My tools are:
Assembler and FORTRAN IV compiler.
Usable peripherals:
Paper tape reader/punch, teletype, line printer, serial port
Any interesting suggestions?
Best wishes,
Philipp :-)

If it *is* portable, it might seem a better choice for archives over
tar, simply because more systems these days can handle zip files than
can handle tar files...
--
Writing a program to unpack a tar archive is not difficult.
The problem I see with zip is the single table of contents at the end.
Did you try corrupting THAT with a hex editor?
The file headers in a tar archive appear in front of each file. It is
generally possible to resync after errors in the decoding stream.

Hi
Others should explore this site and bookmark it. There
are a lot of interesting things here. There is even some
stuff for Intel ISIS and series II.

I was sure I asked this before, and got an answer, but can't seem to find it
:(
Anyone have a short machine language program to blink lights on an 11/45,
something I can enter via front panel to check it out?
mucho appreciated :>

AK6DN on ebay (Don North) is reading the digests of this list.
As Al indicated, I did have some involvement with the 11/60 (I wrote
the microdiagnostic code and the FP macro diagnostics). I have lost
my copies of these two over the last 30 yrs (go figure) and wanted
to replace them. I do have an old hard copy of the FP11-E hardware
macrodiagnostic (DQFPE) which can be scanned as well.
Any 11/60 (or other -11 doc for that matter) doc I get via EBAY will be
made available for bitsavers scanning (or hard copies if so desired) so
no need to worry about it getting hoarded in some private archive.
BTW I was also involved in writing microcode for the 11/74 commercial
instruction set option, but this product was cancelled before it shipped.

I think these may be ruggedized 11/73 machines. I believe I saw a reference
to them somewhere on the internet once, but I can't remember where. I'll see
if I can dig up the link.

Thanks Fred Jan
This is just what I'm looking for. I should make
good progress on figuring this beast out.
