  • 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.

    XMOS mentioned on the page can be found on https://www.xmos.ai

  • Emacs /ˈiːmæks/, originally named EMACS (an acronym for "Editor MACroS"), is a family of text editors
    Emacs /ˈiːmæks/, originally named EMACS (an acronym for "Editor MACroS"), is a family of text editors that are characterized by their extensibility. The manual for the most widely used variant, GNU Emacs, describes it as "the extensible, customizable, self-documenting, real-time display editor". Development of the first Emacs began in the mid-1970s, and work on its direct descendant, GNU Emacs, continues actively; the latest version is 28.2, released in September 2022.

    "What Mother Never Told You" is still the best document about system maintenance ever written.

    Just what it says. The author had read the handbook soon after it came out and has revisited it 25 years later. He also offers interesting comments about most of the competing operating systems. See also

  • Viral Attacks On UNIX System Security
    Article from Tom Duff, August 1987
    Executable files in the Ninth Edition of the UNIX system contain small amounts of unused space, allowing small code sequences to be added to them without noticeably affecting their functionality. A program fragment that looks for binaries and introduces copies of itself into their slack space will transitively spread like a virus. Such a virus program could, like the Trojan Horse, harbor Greeks set to attack the system when run by sufficiently privileged users or from infected set-userid programs.
