I have to say that I hate this email thread abuse so much...!
Is it so difficult to leave the thread about PICTURES (fill in whatever
topic it was about) intact? It would be so much better to start a new
thread instead:
- Does not disturb original discussion.
- Can be found and identified easily: Do you think that you will find
the <blah blah emulator intersting blah> easily in a few years if it's
discussed under the caption "VCF PNW 2018: Picture!"?
And on the other hand there are those people who seem to be unable to
create a prober reply to the list and therefore make threads appear
scattered and broken into many many pieces...
Sorry for ranting, but I enjoyed the pictures and following discussion
so much and now encountering that dumb emulator discussion in this place
annoys me so much...!
And yes, I know that I sent this message as a reply to another message.
Kind regards
Philipp

What do they have up there for Honeywell?? Any

should have at least a box of GCOS-8 manuals (in hindsight, the only
manuals I regret sending up there).
Zane, they've got a DPS-8 maintenance/operator/? panel sitting right out
front.? It's fully operational and is connected via some magic hardware
to a Raspberry Pi running a Multics emulator. The guy that wrote the
emulator gave a talk that should be the first one you watch once Erik
has a chance to get the video posted.
