The December 2024 newsletter from Obsolescence Guaranteed covers updates on new projects such as PiDP-10 and PiDP-1, news about existing projects like PiDP-8 and PiDP-11, and upcoming plans for 2025 including a PiDP-1 replica and an annual programming competition.
A brief article showcasing a replica of the historic PDP-10 minicomputer running on a modern Raspberry Pi, highlighting the contrast between the two systems' processing power and size
This article describes the special keys on the Knight TV keyboard and their functions.
Detailed instructions and assembly guide for building the PiDP-10, a PDP-10 emulator built using a Raspberry Pi.
The PiDP-10 is a modern reproduction of the PDP-10, powered by a Raspberry Pi and featuring a front panel with tons of LEDs and switches. It's designed for those who want to experience the computing power of the 1960s, but with a modern twist.
CEDS is a retrocomputing micro-factory, producing and shipping PiDP-10 replica kits. They also offer assembled PiDP-11 units, with the option of selecting assembled or unassembled kits in the order form. For placing an order, fill in the required information and submit the order form.
A large team of tech nostalgia enthusiasts have made a PiDP-10, a replica of the PDP-10 mainframe computer first launched by the Digital Equipment Corporation in 1966.
- Discussion about a dedicated timesharing system called SITS (Small Incompatible Timesharing System) used for running Logo and other PDP11/45 programs.
- Mentions of various software and tools such as DDT, Salv, Tinté editor, LISP11, Macro assembler, Link linker, Spacewar, etc.
- Discussion about the General Turtle 2500 standalone Logo machine and its possible use of SITS.
- Mention of a special Logo keyboard similar to Knight or Space-cadet keyboards that may have been used with raster displays.
- Comments on running SITS' Salv to initialize an empty disk, reading files from paper tape using RUG, and starting the system sphere
