I sent an email over my undergrad school's PDP 11-70, running Unix V. ELM was the program, I think.
I am that old.

Een voormalig Microsoft-ingenieur heeft zelf rammodules voor zijn vintagecomputer van DEC gebouwd. Dave Plummer, de oorspronkelijke maker van de Taakbeheer-app van Windows, gebruikte AI om de insteekkaarten met 4MB geheugen te ontwerpen en die hardware te debuggen.

hell, that's kinda how it worked before the rise of personal microcomputers. people just timeshared off a PDP-11 and that was that.

The tradeoffs that seemed reasonable on a pdp-11 with 64k memory are not what we would do now.

The problem with C is not just memory safety but that it’s dogshit type system and engineering norms mean a perfectly respectable thing for a libc password hash function to do is return “*” when the entered password is more than 256 characters long

Oud-Microsoft-engineer bouwt geheugenkaart voor PDP-11
Op 31 oktober beschreef hoe oud-Microsoft-engineer Dave Plummer een geheugenkaart voor zijn PDP-11 ontwierp. De hoge prijs van geheugen voor de oude computer bracht hem op het idee.

Veteran Microsoft Engineer Crafts Custom PDP-11 RAM on FPGA
Why vintage memory costs remain a barrier Original memory chips for the PDP-11 were produced in the early 1970s. Over the decades the supply chain has dried up, and the few remaining units command prices comparable to rare collectibles.

That was the C30 IMP. They had an alternate microcode load that was vaguely PDP 11-like, running a weird version of Unix with an addressing range of 1M 10-bit bytes. I wrote software tools for that.
