Notes on Linux

The earliest version of Tru64 UNIX that supports the ATI Radeon Graphics Card (3X-PBXGG-AA) in my DS10 is version 5.1B, but unfortunately this release does not include the ‘classic’ DEC Windows Desktop, however it is possible to copy the files needed from…

Since the Pi Zero allows you to configure the USB port as a USB slave you can make it behave as like a USB serial interface, network interface, keyboard or mass storage device – all of which can be very useful.

The solution turned out to be quite a bit easier then I expected.

It won’t have escaped anyone’s attention that as well as Debian, I’m also a bit of a fan of retro computing.

A simple substitution cipher implemented in ALGOL 68.

Having managed to install Ultrix you will probably want to enable terminal access, install the man pages, configure the network, set up the date and time, add a separate volume for user files and create a new user account.

Over the holiday period I decided to see if I could install Ultrix on my (simulated) MicroVAX II so I could compare it with the latest version of Tru64 UNIX that I have installed on my AlphaServer DS10.

I have always maintained an interest in programming on CP/M long after it really ceased to be actually useful, and I still have my original copy of the Microsoft FORTRAN compiler that I brought way back when.

Just posting this here to remind me the next time this error occours.

There are a couple of issues but in the end I successfully managed to get Debian running on a Raspberry Pi 3B+.
