(My dad was the deputy head of a high school, so brought computers home at the weekend) I remember it well, especially the the ridiculously dangerous power supply that gave you shocks if you touched the live a neutral of the plug up to ten mins after you'd unplugged it! Having said that my fave bit about it was the car bonnet style rod that kept the monitor section up when you had it open, genius.

I hope El Reg keeps this series going, but as well as classic hardware, it would be nice to cover the pre-1981 operating systems: CP/M, Concurrent CP/M, DR-DOS, the UCSD p-system, Flex 2 & 9 and OS-9 to mention the main ones. Needless to say DOS, 'doze and Borland C was there in the background for work compatibility. The change in screen format required a complete ROM rewrite, but that was no problem as I had an EPROM burner in it as well.įrom there I moved to OS-9 on a 68020 and then Linux. It still runs, though its now in a different chassis with 4 floppies, an 80 x 25 screen (originally 64 x 16) and a whole 48 K RAM. It was programmed in assembler, BASIC, C or (the best) PL/9, which is based on PL/M. I soldered it together and then debugged the hardware with a logic probe and multimeter.

It had a for power and ran Flex-09 off twin floppies. It will do about anything you can imagine provided you can fit it into 2K of EEPROM and 32 bytes of RAM.Ĭontinuing the original theme, my first computer was a self-assembled SS-50 system from Brian Hewart. You program it in integer BASIC and it has 16 i/o pins which can all be used for digital i/o or as ADCII lines. Its a tiny motherboard that fits a 24 pin DIP socket. If you'd like to hack round with close-to-the-metal computing again, take a look at the Parallax STAMP.

When I were a lad we used to 'ave to squeeze subroutine in't 100 bytes, graphics, sound an all, using hand crafted assembler, an't use ROM image for random numbers. Linux is the closest I'll ever get to the robustness and flexibility of the Amiga. Doing stuff the upstarts of today can only dream about. I still have a Tatung Einstein and several Speccys and ZX81s around somewhere. It wasn't until the CPC when Sir Alan slapped a deck onto the side of his carbuncle. Clearly Commodore didn't want any of this mucking around with cassette leads like we had to with the Speccy. I love the Deep Thought photo.Ī built-in cassette deck? How modern. I was a bit too young at the time and was still drooling over Princess Leia (or was it R2D2) at the time. I remember some of the older geezers (the real UNIX grey beards) reminiscing over the PET when the Amiga was still king.
