I was feeling nostalgic recently and would like to figure out some way of recreating my
introduction to computing in 7th grade (an ASR-33 with acoustic coupler, timeshared to a
PDP-8 at the nearest university 60 mi. away, running Edusystem 50). The good old days...
when a large hard drive was 256Kw and functional programs could be run in 8K of core!
I have a TTY basket case which is "very restorable" :) but don't have the
time or space to keep a real PDP-8 up and running. Is there a decent program I can run on
a PC? Or should I invest in an SBC6120? A front panel with blinkenlights would be neat but
not essential to the TTY "experience".
thanks
