Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By SilasB: Not sure but I think Dynasty was a pyramid tech scheme from the early 80s that crashed. Dad probably bought out some stock. These are mostly dated 1981. The labels on the ROMs are looking rough but I have no idea how to preserve them. Note the $15 copy of Martian Invader. The fun part of digging through that stuff is I found some programs written by my dad.

Played Hunt the Wampus and some type of D&D game on it. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DK-Prof: I was in the Computer Club at my school in the 70s - working on a DEC PDP-11 machine with four terminals. The CPU was the size of a chest freezer. I remember trying to write computer games that would work in 1K of RAM.  @DK-Prof Future project still in its box, a 5/6 scale PDP-11/70 that uses a Raspberry Pi 4 running a PDP 11/70 emulator and with working switches and blinkin lights. Pic of one like it sitting on top of a real PDP-11/70 .  Logged into the PDP emulator running on the Pi.  Back to the funny.  |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By DK-Prof: I was in the Computer Club at my school in the 70s - working on a DEC PDP-11 machine with four terminals. The CPU was the size of a chest freezer. I remember trying to write computer games that would work in 1K of RAM. My high school had a Radio Shack TRS-80, known as the trash80. One of the programs we loaded was meant to reduce the double bounce of the keyboard. College had a DEC PDP-11/70 running the RSTS-E operating system. One semester the biology department assigned a project requiring the students to run a genetics program, which was written in BASIC. At the same time, everyone in the computer science department was trying to complete their class projects. Every dumb terminal in the college was occupied. It took 1.5 hours to login to the computer. One of my classmates in the OS class was working on his operating system project. He was in the computer lab when the phone rang. He was told to stop whatever he was doing and wait there. His code to delete files in his project OS was deleting the actual computer's OS. The entire college used that computer, he could have deleted grades, admissions or other administrative files if it continued. He got an A for his project but wasn't allowed to see his program again. |
