Retrocomputing

When retro-computing and rPi-based kits became a thing, how could I resist?
Also - if anyone knows of a free VMS emulator, it would really be fun to play around with MACRO-11 and explore a few of the old Pascal projects again.

PiDP8/I

This was the first kit I tried out. The switches are not as even as they could be, but it is a nice little computer. Here's a link to the kit - it ships from Switzerland, and is a ton of fun to assemble. pidp8I link

Favorite operating systems

• OS/8

  Fascinating OS execution

• TSS/8

  Early timesharing

PiDP11/70

When the PiDP-11 kit became available, I had to give it a try, too. It came out a little nicer looking than the previous kit thanks to experience and a bit more patience on my part pidp-11/70 link

Favorite Operating Systems

• BSD 2.11

  Useful, early UNIX

• RSX-11

  Predecessor to VMS
