Might be a long shot but is it worth trying to track down the original author of the article and see if they've got any code lying around? My Unix account has moved with me since 1994-ish so it could be a possibility they have code available. Mind, I'm probably not alone in this amongst you rabble ;) Mark.

However, for many machines, that needs to hold both code and data... (For some, you can have 64K code and 64K data.) There are very few PDP-11s that won't kick the living snot out of a Commodore 64, FYI. :-) But using FORTRAN, we could potentially use overlays and such. Well, overlays do not depend on FORTRAN, you can use that no matter what language you choose.

Well, graphics cards do exists, so that is obviously not a problem. :-) As for sound, it is just an analog signal anyway, and there are plenty of D/A cards around. ;-) Johnny -- Johnny Billquist || "I'm on a bus || on a psychedelic trip email: bqt at softjar.se || Reading murder books pdp is alive! || tryin' to stay hip" - B.

Fair enough :-) I'm told there were, probably third party, sound cards for qbus. Has anyone of you seen one or know more? I haven't. I have a really neat Qbus card with a TMS9918 sprite-based video chip on it, though! Which one is that? I have a Matrox card and one of the VSV cards (can't remember which one) /P

Me neither. The 64 probably outsold all models of 11 taken together. That's certainly possible, but one cannot argue that their target markets were even remotely related. Or even aware of each other's existence, for tha tmatter. so it depends on your application and measurement I suppose. We were talking about distributed math apps.

Oh man so we are going to do amazing things with 64 KB nodes ha ha. I like fractals sounds like a good application for what we have. ...we do have 64KB available right? :) Sent from my iPhone On May 1, 2014, at 5:58 PM, Cory Smelosky <b4 at gewt.net> wrote: On Thu, 1 May 2014, Jovan Trujillo wrote: Alrighty so no dynamic memory management.

PDP-11 for sure. So what's the common denominator for software development here? Do we all have C compilers? I was thinking of starting with something simple, like finding solutions to Beal's Conjecture for crazy large numbers. More common, and generating better code: FORTRAN 77.
