Hi, Tim. Long time no see...
And I will still endeavor to take care of the PDP-10
software
archives, the DECUS PDP-11 and PDP-10 collections, etc. It's been
years since any software was donated to those archives so I haven't
put a lot of effort into them. But it's good to know that there a
are a couple of PDP-10's around the world that are now usefully
"up" thanks to the archives.
Yes, well I'm basically lurking as well. Most of the world ignore me, so I
tend to keep a bit to myself. I do have some new software that I could
contribute in the RSX world atleast, if you're interested.
Oh, and I don't know if you saw my mail on info-pdp11, but Magica (the
11/70) is occasionally online, but we've also moved all data to a
simulated PDP-11 which is online 24/7, including all accounts. That
machine in Mim.Update.UU.SE. Just send me a mail if you want in and have
forgotten your password.
For everyone else (who might not know this) Update is a computer club at
Uppsala University, who have been running a PDP-11/70 online for over ten
years with free guest accounts. Last year we had to stop running it full
time because of money cuts from the University. The machine is still
there, and just need to turn a key to be online, but it's at odd times
right now. So we received a donation from Dbit of a E11 license. So we're
finally back online with a PDP-11 running RSX full time. A guest account
exist, with the username GUEST, and password GUEST.
If people don't abuse it, it will stay this way. :-)
