It is very interesting. I read the sinclair file first because my first computer was a 1K ZX81. For that machine, I had a replacement ROM chip (8K EPROM) with a FORTH implementation made by Skywave Software, from Bournemouth in England if memory serves me correctly. It has preemptive real-time multi-tasking. It's in a cupboard at my parent's house still. From time to time I have searched the Net to see if anyone has an image of that ROM that I could download to run on an emulator. I haven't found one. One day I would like to boot up the old '81 and copy the ROM across to my PC, but my knowledge of hardware is a bit sketchy, so building an serial interface could be tricky. Anyway, I thought you'd be interested in that info since your project includes operating systems. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- REMOTE_ADDR: 194.222.165.178 HTTP_USER_AGENT: Mozilla/4.7 [en] (X11; I; Linux 2.2.14 i586) |

It is where Alan Turing and a cast of thousands broke the Enigma cypher and where Tommy Flowers set up what some people call the world's first programmable electronic computer, Colossus. The future of the site and the musuem that is there (run by volunteers) is uncertain. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- REMOTE_ADDR: 216.222.78.50 HTTP_USER_AGENT: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.0; Windows 95; DigExt) |

I worked as a Multics Analyst for over a year back in the 70's and nothing I've seen since then has come anywhere near working as well and efficiently and easily as Multics. Multics had the first commercial relational database system. From the first boot back in 1969, the OS would snif out the devices and dynamically link in the device drivers during every boot, no prebuilt kernels. Dynamic linking was the default for everything and all 'files' where automatically mapped into virtual memory --------------------------------------------------------------------------- REMOTE_ADDR: 199.181.141.18 HTTP_USER_AGENT: Mozilla/4.75 [en] (Win98; U) |

The participants included Gregory Bateson, Warren McCullough, and others. The conferences' procedings were totally recorded on film and every scrap of notes and other writings were saved until 1959, when all but summaries of numbers 5-9 disappeared. As I understand it several of the key concepts of practical computer theory were developed, and, later expanded into the cybernetic theories that fed the creation of other systems oriented thinking (Notably Family Systems Therapy and Brief Therapy, and Neural Network theory.) The summaries of 5-9 are (or, were ten years ago) available in print. I have not found yet any specific resources on the conferences on the WWW. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- REMOTE_ADDR: 204.245.58.22 HTTP_USER_AGENT: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/2.0; X11); Supports MD5-Digest; Supports gzip encoding |
