That's cool. I always like hearing about the classic stuff you guys were
involved with designing. I guess it's my secret disappointment that I
never made it into the compsci department at university and consequently
dropped out to become a unix sysadmin. (:
After a while it was "Wow! Scope loops you can
see on a scope!" (they
were using a high-level interpreted thingy called hdb for hardware
debugging; their scope loops were too slow to see on a scope) By the
time I left, it was "show us how you did that." Sometimes being an old
fart pays off.
I've never heard of a scope loop. What is it?
