On a lone crusade...

Expansion unit works!! Well, at least for the 8-bit i/o anyway.

#Altair8800

New #Altair8800 Mini "expansion unit" has arrived.

Will experiment later.

Comes equipped with Parallel port (printer), 8-bit I/O and cassette interface.

trying to be on here more often (again lol)

Back on my BS with my project to make a portable version of Unix V6 (from 1975) with a self-hosted pre-K&R C compiler, that could be released on anything that can at least simulate the memory model

Gonna start on a custom VM written in #Rust, but then port to the #C64 and probably also #ALtair8800!!

You can check out the progress on the kernel branch here: https://codeberg.org/popeyeotaku/popix/src/branch/kernel

Right now the compiler's almost done, with a bootstrapper compiler written in Rust. I'm about to start booting and bugfixing the kernel as soon as I extend the VM a tad

Still gotta gut the kernel by another several K, and write self-hosted assembler/linker package, and port userland. Also gonna write a custom YACC that uses less RAM

but it's coming along swimmingly!!!

#ancientUnix #C #Popix #C6T

I love it when it does that ...

Found this PERFECT keyboard for my #Altair8800! Integrated solenoid and blue metal casing.

$600 plus customs and tariff charges! 😱

Will remortgage da wife.

Lassé (déjà) de taper des 0 et des 1 (surtout quand il faut insérer un octet au début) je suis heureux de voir qu'il existe un moyen de mémoriser/modifier/restaurer le code.
