  • The Original Hacker's Dictionary
    This file, jargon.txt, was maintained on MIT-AI for many years, before being published by Guy Steele and others as the Hacker's Dictionary. Many years after the original book went out of print, Eric Raymond picked it up, updated it and republished it as the New Hacker's Dictionary. Unfortunately, in the process, he essentially destroyed what held it together, in various ways: first, by changing its emphasis from Lisp-based to UNIX-based (blithely ignoring the distinctly anti-UNIX aspects of the LISP culture celebrated in the original); second, by watering down what was otherwise the fairly undiluted record of a single cultural group through this kind of mixing; and third, by adding in all sorts of terms which are "jargon" only in the sense that they're technical. This page, however, is pretty much the original, snarfed from MIT-AI around 1988. -- jpd.

  • Greaseweazle V4 USB Floppy Adapter – Flux Reader Writer – Ultimate Mister FPGA
    Greaseweazle allows versatile floppy drive control over USB. Read and write your vintage floppy disks from your PC/Linux/Mac computer. This USB device lets you to connect an old floppy disk drive to your modern computer to read/write floppy disks from any system with Shugart standard drives (Amiga, Atarí, Commodore, Amstrad, Sinclair, PC, CNC machines, musical instruments, industrial equipment, and more.)

    By extracting the raw flux transitions from a drive, any disk format can be captured and analyzed. The Greaseweazle also supports writing to floppy disks, from a range of image file formats including those commonly used for online preservation (ADF, IPF, DSK, IMG, HFE, …).

    Greaseweazle V4 is the latest version, updated for mass production and with the following features:

    Reads and writes 3″, 3.5″, 5.25″, 8″ disks (with suitable drive and cable)
    Buffered outputs, for communicating with older 5.25″ and 8″ disk drives
    Integrated power connector for directly powering most 3.5″ disk drives
    Write-enable jumper can be removed for safer preservation of precious vintage disks
    Supports floppy-modded 5.25″ drives
    Supports Disk-Change detection as used by Rob Smith’s integration into the WinUAE Amiga emulator
    3 user-definable outputs (eg. 8″ interface REDWC signal)
    100% factory tested, and tested again by me before shipping

  • Getting started with Google OpenSK
    OpenSK https://github.com/google/OpenSK released by Google is a fully open-source implementation for security keys written in Rust that supports both FIDO U2F and FIDO2 standards.

    OpenSK is based on the FIDO2 specifications, which combine the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Authentication (WebAuthn) specification and FIDO Alliance’s corresponding Client-to-Authenticator Protocol (CTAP).

    The nRF52840 MDK USB Dongle works well with OpenSK. Taking advantage of the UF2 Bootloader, you can easily program the OpenSK by just copying the .uf2-format image to the flash drive.

  • The Inmos Legacy - transputer links and SpaceWire
    After reading https://forums.theregister.com/forum/all/2022/05/06/pi_pico_transputer_code/, I was looking for information related to transputers and found this page.

    The point-to-point technology to link transputers was formalised in the IEEE 1355 standard. This was further developed under the ESA into SpaceWire, which is now designed into a number of space missions under development in Europe, the USA and Japan. A key player in developing SpaceWire was Paul Walker from the transputer team whose company, 4Links, is now selling SpaceWire test equipment.
