@lea I think #PowerShell is more #cursed than any other #shell becaise #Microsoft can't be assed to have any consistency and one gets commands that look like

CamelCase.command-network.option -flag --another option +includeThis +-excludeThat :user

And it's worse than #MSDOS / cmd.exe, sh tcsh & ksh combined because it mixes up #DOS / #CPM-Style, #UNIX-style and whatever the fuck the peoole.who designed the #Refistry in #Windows felt like that particular day...

  • Makes me so fucking angry!

#Funfact: I needed less code than that to build my first bootable version of @OS1337 just by comparison!

Extremely decent ASCIIART benchmark result on @tomjennings 's Friendly eZ80 CP/M computer running BASIC-80 5.21 : 11.3 seconds

Another benchmark suggests that it's running BASIC 47× faster than a C64

This is the Spectravideo SVI-328 with the superexpander with 2 floppy drives. This was a machine targeted at business. An expansion card for displaying 80 cols was availbale and it was able to run CP/M.

The MSX standard was based on this computer and its little brother the SVI-318. The image is from a magazine ad of 1985 and IMHO it looks quite impressive.

A few weeks ago I wondered what it takes to turn a small LISP-1 into a LISP-2. Turns out it takes just a few hours to get most things right, then some days to iron out a few subtleties, and then a couple of weeks to polish it into a piece of art.
MICRO COMMON LISP is a tiny, purely symbolic, microscopic subset of . It runs in less than 64K bytes of memory, even on (tiny model) or CP/M. Here it is:

The Mini I have been working on now runs on CP/M with 2416 free cons cells. Enough to load Ken Kahn's tiny PROLOG and run a few simple queries.
The (18MHz eZ80) loads the LISP part of the code (236 lines) in 11 seconds. Simple programs run at acceptable speed, but slightly more complex PROLOG queries take *minutes*. :)

((5 4321) (5432) (543) (54) (5))

* (do ((a '(hello beautiful lisp world) (cdr a)))
    ((null a) (terpri))
    (prin (car a)))

HELLO BEAUTIFUL LISP WORLD

* (defmacro kwote (x) *',x)
KWOTE

* (kwote (foo bar))
(FOO BAR)

* (load 'prolog)

Neu bei VSG: Dies ist meine Geschichte wie ich zum Computer kam. Es muss schon sehr lange her sein, als ich mich für elektronische Spielereien interessierte, ich sag mal so gegen 1972.

The Coolest Thing In The World Is CP/M For 6502
Is that hyperbolic? It probably is. But the heart wants what it wants, and what mine wants is CP/M for the MOS 6502 processor. Set Side B is a blog about computer entertainment, in all its many forms, and this qualifies in my mind, because it's not like anyone's going to be using it do real work.

@nazokiyoubinbou I think back then the only layer of compatibility was software developed for the #CPM OS, mainly business software, and that's why the MSX-DOS was made binary compatible with the CP/M-80. I never used the CP/M, so if some CP/M user/expert read this, she can confirm/deny/shed some light.

The little #CPM #workstation is finished. My evening work consisted of packing it in a nice case and starting the backplane soldering. But there are still plenty of soldering points left, I'll have to do that tomorrow as well.

Do any of you #Pascal nerds knows a source for porting #Eliza to #TurboPascal3, the first good Turing test in #BASIC?

Playing around with a PROFILE.SUB and the SUBMIT command to get a kind of AUTOEXEC.BAT under #CPM2. It makes a lot of fun to play with such an old technique and shows how restless our time has become.

☝️ @bitsavers has just posted yet another computing history treasure: the scans of the original Digital Research listings of the sources of CP/M 2.2, CP/M Plus 3.0, CP/M-86, and Concurrent CP/M-86 in Intel 8080 Assembly, PL/M, and Intel 8086 Assembly.

Un 9 de junio de 1981, se lanza al mercado la Xerox 820. Este CP/M de 8 bits (Z80, 64KB RAM) fue el intento de Xerox de entrar al PC. Una máquina decente opacada por el IBM PC. Un capítulo olvidado de la historia tech.
