Recovering Eric Graham's 1987 Amiga Juggler raytracer source code - AlphaPixel Software Development

Recovering Eric Graham's 1987 Juggler raytracer source code AlphaPixel often gets involved with modernizing and updating old performance and graphics code. Sometimes that means client work under NDA. But sometimes it means a fun side quest in the mystical realms of curiosity, preservation, and the practical problem of getting old data into a form that can be read and used on a current machine. Today let's talk about Amiga Juggler ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sculpt_3D ). The Juggler animation was ground-breaking and Earth-shattering. Even the Amiga's creaators (Commodore) didn't believe it had been made on an Amiga. They thought the actual computation work[…]

Me faltaba probar la SVI-728 con el módem wifi y Retroterm. ¡Funciona perfecto! Tiene un teclado robusto pero demasiado tosco (me parece mejor el de la SVI-738 X'press) pero la calidad de video es muy buena, incluso mejor que otras máquinas MSX1.

Attached: 1 image In the 1980s, if you wanted your IBM PC to be faster for spreadsheets or CAD, you could buy the Intel 8087 floating-point chip. Internally, the chip runs special code called microcode. We opened the chip, extracted the microcode, and are figuring out how it works. 1/n

Vielleicht hat hier jemand eine Idee oder noch besser eine Lösung: Ich habe hier eine sehr große #Computersammlung im #Harz. Sie ist genau betrachtet zu groß für mich alleine. Nun sehe ich Probleme in der Zukunft mit dem Lager - ich werde älter und würde die Sammlung gerne erhalten. Dafür bräuchte ich nun etwas neues, großes im #Harz, idealerweise in #clausthalzellerfeld . Selber hab ich aber auch keine weiteren finanziellen Möglichkeiten.

Well, here is a text editor that *does* work on the Tandy 1000!

Calvin 2.4, previously "free vi", for 8088+ msdos. Or as the man page calls it, MS-Dog. 😉

I don't have a lot to say here, it's a classic vi clone. This is a very love it or hate it thing. Seems like it understands the T1000 keyboard, which is useful to me.

Full source is available.

So, to get the 8086 version of the Aurora text editor, unzip auror30c.zip, then unzip aur86_30c.zip on top of it.

Run a86. This is an installer and compiler to build the editor for your machine. This takes a long time on an 8088....

After installing, run a.exe....

And discover it just hangs forever on a Tandy 1000. 😭

I was hoping to show off another text editor but I guess not...
