Thrift store loot, some left for others

Hi, today was a good day at Amvets on Brighton Ave. in Allston/Brighton, MA. I picked up 6 books on old computers, all of which are available is someone wants them: Minicomputer Systems: Organization, Programming, and Applications (PDP-11) This book is a russian translation of the above title, includes very in-depth explanation of PDP-11 (now I need one) CODASYL: Data Description Language Committee Ditto. Could someone tell me what CODASYL is, though? This book is far too boring for me to figure it out myself... Minicomputers in Data Processing and Simulation In English for a change, has in-depth explanation of computers and their components (including PDP-8, -11, HP and Varian machines) Fortran 77 In Russian Advanced Programming Techniques: A second course in programming using Fortran In Russian Assembly Language Programming In Russian, for a Russian mini or mainframe (EC-EVM) Here is what is still at the store: Osborne-1 with modem in perfect physical condition DEC Letterwriter 100 in perfect physical condition Advanced-looking book: Digital Signal Processing Lots of modern Borland and Microsoft programmer's manuals --Max Eskin (max82(a)surfree.com)
