I am pleased to announce that Hewlett Packard and The
Computer History
Museum have as
of today entered into an agreement allowing CHM to preserve and
redistribute all of the
software (objects and sources) along with documentation for the
21xx/1000 family of
computers for non-commercial use.
The software has been explicitly licensed for use both on simulators and
real hardware.
HP has also donated a large collection of manuals and software
distributions, primarily
from the late 80s and forward, which complements what CHM already had
from earlier software
releases.
CHM will continue to be actively involved in trying to find all of the
earlier software
releases which weren't in the HP archives.
Woah. That is a huge deal! I can't imagine the amount of time &
patience that went into making this agreement.
Good work!
