Fwd: Spacewar! on S/360

by jws＠jwsss.com

Thought I'd pass this on. I'm sure that most Hercules people will see this, but not sure about the cctalk folks. thanks Jim -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Spacewar! on S/360 Date: Sun, 24 Feb 2013 22:51:12 -0600 From: Sean P. McBride <spmcbride at US.IBM.COM> Reply-To: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN at LISTSERV.UA.EDU> To: IBM-MAIN at LISTSERV.UA.EDU Newsgroups: bit.listserv.ibm-main All, I recently found out that Edson Hendricks (the creator of VNET) wrote a copy of Spacewar! for the IBM System 360 while he was an MIT student. It was based on the PDP-1 version, and it was used by MIT for their annual open house in either 1965 or 1966. My understanding is that this S/360 version ended up getting played by IBMers at the IBM Research Lab, which resulted in a corporate ban of running the software on IBM machines. Considering that the source should run on modern IBM mainframes with some code modification, I thought that this might be something worth resurrecting for the 50th anniversary of the System 360 announcement. Do any of you ever recall playing this game on an IBM mainframe or hearing about others that might have done this? Do any of you have suggests for finding the source code for this S/360 version? Edson does not have a copy, and I have not yet heard back the from Computer History Museum. Thanks for your help!!! Respectfully, Sean P. McBride Millennialmainframer.com

Don't know who posted what's above yours. Other then that, are you an enthusiast, or just here for curiosity? There's roughly 2 camps here - those that collect and use very little, and those that actually use their old equipment regularly, and may even collect. It's an interesting unit, just wanted some discussion of it. Needless to say it's rarely seen on this side of the puddle. Otherwise how do you feel about Google/Goozitzu these days? Welcome to the list.

Looking for: PET Chicklet keyboard / tape drive

by derschjo＠gmail.com

A few years ago I picked up an original PETwhich had been heavily modified. The original keyboard was replaced with a larger, more standard keyboard which is unfortunately both very ugly and which also ended up covered in glue at some point in its past. I'd like to restore it to a more original appearance, is there any chance someone out there has a keyboard and/or tape drive going spare they'd be willing to sell/barter for? Thanks! Josh

My Apple IIe(s) on Youtube

by rampaginggreenhulk＠yahoo.com

I watched both this and the A2+ vids Terry. Both well done. I just can't help but wonder how many marriages were put on the rocks by Apple though. And you should really find a Wombat. Or 2 actually, one for me one for you.

I'm hunting for one to get a working 23-004M2 masked 8051 microcontroller from. (i.e. as seen in this random picture I found on GIS: http://www.wickensonline.co.uk/retro/images/LK201-INTERNAL.JPG ) The LK201 with *GREEN* leds has a 23-001S9-00 MC68HC05 MCU in it instead, and I am not interested in this one (as the extant scanned lk201 schematic does not cover it and the PCB has a small custom ASIC in addition to the MCU which seems irreplaceable). -- Jonathan Gevaryahu jgevaryahu at gmail.com jgevaryahu at hotmail.com
