#HELLORLD

2025-07-19

A year ago, the TI Retro community lost a shining star when SparkDrummer passed. Since then his son has been involved in distributing his collection and sharing some of the things SparkDrummer made like the Yesterday's News zine.

This week I added this TI CC40 to my collection, expecting to need to do a little cleanup or recap. Imagine my pleasure when it worked immediately.

Finished up my Z80 Membership Card and Front Panel card the other day and Ive been playing with it ever since

I still have the SIO card to assemble for CP/M, but even still this is a fun little machine.

Today I took a trip up to Bletchley Park and visited the National Museum of Computing. #hellorld!

Here is my contribution to #hellorld started by Usagi Electric over at Youtube. #retrocomputing #z80 #z80cpu

So my old friend @spacehobo wrote an implementation of Hellorld! for the PDP-12, and getting it to run was quite an adventure. How old of a friend? What's Hellorld!? How quite of an adventure was it it? Watch and learn -- you won't regret it.

(Nick also did a "takeover" of our channel and produced this video, so it is well above our standard sub-standard quality!)

@dfupdate Can it run this #HELLORLD program when keyed in at `0200`?

A slide marked "HELLORLD Version 2", containing 34 numbers, each composed of four octal digits.  Some are white, some yellow, some cyan, and some green.

I may have just succeeded in making Usagi Electric's #Hellorld challenge work for the #pdp12. I'll have to wait to see if I can cajole @tastytronic to try this on actual germanium.

Q: And how are you taking advantage of your 55" 4K HDR Dolby home theater today, Andy?

A: I'm watching a stranger as he figures out how to write code for an extremely niche forty year old minicomputer with a one-of-a-kind OS. #HELLORLD
