Computer History Wiki
This wiki is an experiment to create a means for knowledgeable people to enter their information into some kind of a knowledge base. This is however, not the relatively formalized tone and style imposed by Wikipedia. Sentences starting with "I seem to recall" are perfectly welcome here - and articles do not have to be in the descriptive, encyclopedic style Wikipedia enforces. On the contrary, it is preferred that many of the articles be references, guides, helpful hints, suggestions, tutorials and so on.Fri Nov 17 13:44:15 2017 - permalink -
If you have any information you want to contribute to this wiki, please, contribute it. We'd much rather remove or modify a dozen potentially unsuited submissions than miss out on a single good one. We hope this wiki grows into a useful resource for everyone interested in classic computing, no matter what their level of knowledge may be; it is meant to be all-encompassing. -- Tore & Lucky- http://gunkies.org/wiki/Main_Page#News

See also chapter 1.0 of his operating system lecture notes at:

Portable PDP-8 and DG Nova Cross-assembler
Intended to be a basic example of an assembler for two simple architectures, written with the aid of lex and yacc (or GNU flex/bison). Being small, it should lend itself to learning, extension and modification. The source code is released under the GPL and has been built and tested on NetBSD, Linux and OS X.Mon Mar 13 16:48:49 2017 - permalink -- http://www.telegraphics.com.au/sw/info/dpa.html

V7/x86 is a port of the Seventh Edition of the UNIX operating system to the x86 (IA-32) based PC. UNIX V7 was the last general distribution (around 1979) to come from the Research group at Bell Labs, the original home of UNIX. The port was done mostly around 1999 when "Ancient UNIX" source code licenses first became available, and was revised for release, with some enhancements, during 2006-7.Sat Nov 12 00:36:49 2016 - permalink -
The distribution includes the full UNIX Version 7 operating system, with source code, pre-built binaries, man pages, and original Version 7 documentation. Also included are a custom UNIX-style x86 assembler, an ACK-based C compiler, and several key early UCB software components such as the C shell, the editors ex and vi, and the pager more.
V7/x86 currently supports ATA (IDE) hard drives, ATAPI CDROM drives, a 1.44M floppy drive, and standard serial ports, in addition to the usual PC screen and keyboard. For easier installation and setup, supplied utilities allow access to CD (ISO 9660) and FAT (MS-DOS) filesystems. Source code is available under a Berkeley-style license.- http://www.nordier.com/index.html

Bringing up V6 Unix on the Ersatz-11 PDP-11 Emulator
It's relatively easy to bring up a V6 PDP-11 Unix under the Ersatz-11 PDP-11 emulator. This page (and ancillaries) tell you how to do it, and provide a number of useful tools to go with V6 Unix. (I ran into a number of pitfalls on the way to getting V6 running, using RK05 disk images from the TUHS archive, but this short writeup will tell you how to avoid them all.)Sat Oct 29 23:52:59 2016 - permalink -- http://mercury.lcs.mit.edu/~jnc/tech/V6Unix.html

Multics Emacs History/Design/Implementation
What follows is my vast, unpublished 1979 "Mother of All Multics Emacs papers" from which all of my lesser and greater Emacs papers, published, internal, and unpublished, were ultimately excerpted, including Prose and CONS: A Commercial Text-Processing System in Lisp in the 1980 Lisp Conference proceedings and the 1980 Honeywell conference paper. It's about time to expose it, and the WWW/HTML is now the ideal vehicle.Mon Oct 17 18:08:14 2016 - permalink -- http://www.multicians.org/mepap.html#seciii

b (browse) command for ed(1)
Beginning with the Eighth Edition, ed(1) had the following command.Tue Oct 11 14:38:08 2016 - permalink -
This is from the Plan 9 ed man page.
(.,.)b[+-][pagesize][pln]
Browse. Print a `page', normally 20 lines. The
optional `+' (default) or `-' specifies whether the
next or previous page is to be printed. The optional
pagesize is the number of lines in a page. The
optional `p', `n', or `l' causes printing in the speci-
fied format, initially `p'. Pagesize and format are
remembered between `b' commands. Dot is left at the
last line displayed.- http://minnie.tuhs.org/pipermail/tuhs/2008-May/001507.html
