I believe Toy Story was made on Suns

This brings back memories. An IMSAI 8080 was the first micro I ever worked with. I was at Hughes Research Labs at the time, at the tail end of the 70s. We had a tricked-out 8080 with dual floppies and a whole 16k of static RAM that ran an automated test setup another guy and myself put together. I’m hazy on the details, but think we used an IEEE-488 card in it to control a couple of digital multimeters and an X-Y probing station. I programmed it in Microsoft Basic under CP/M. Good times :-)

I had my own networking software... Over phone. A Bestseller!

Faggin deserves the Nobel prize.

A video suggestion - CTOS, the forgotten (but powerful) OS of the '80s. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convergent_Technologies_Operating_System

More like Laserdisc. Limited local address like Arcnet. But Source Routing allows huge networks miles apart - like IP.

Novell bought Caldera, IBM bought SUSE that's why IBM point of sales equipment runs SUSE

Novel's incompatible IP; it was IPX encapsulation in IP so not internet friendly

Windows can run RPL boot also. Even Win 95.

Netware lite in Novell DOS 7 had "fire phasers"

Lan man. Workgroup add on for msdos (free on NT trial disks) was free Lan man add on. WFW 3.1 had full Windows Netbeui and Netware connectivity.

Ah yes, the beloved Z80. A giant in its time, as too the 6502. Credit were credit is due. We would not be where we are without them. 10 print "HELLO WORLD," GOSUB 10

CCPway ad = instant thumb down 👎

I would expect a Doom port but can it run Crysis? lol

So long Z80 and Thanks for all the op codes... I cut my teeth with assembly language on the Z80... Gadz! 44 years ago!

I will absolutely not use Wayland. I don't care what graphics advances they've made under the hood, they've decided to obstruct global hotkeys that I depend on for many of my applications, and refuse to give me any option to change that. My graphical experience with Wayland to X11 is identical, Wayland is simply less functional for what I need. I apologize for the strong comment.

@ 31:18 - Coherent was absolutely superb: I used it on PCs from the day it was released for x86 to the bitter end. Never knew it was going to be on Commodore - I'd have bought one instantly if it had appeared. Topic for another video, perhaps?

what's with the glitches in the video. defragging while encoding?

Would just like to comment on the background music used in all your videos. It's not in any way offensive, but it is a member of the set of background music videos, whatever that may mean. Your style and voice is really it's own music. The extra music doesn't add anything. The kind of knowledge and enthusiasm you possess and apply doesn't need any gimmicks. You are your own music. So is this a compliment thinly disguised as a criticism? Perhaps. Keep up your amazingly good work. What do other appreciative viewers think?

As a Pentium Pro user at the period, socket 8 stuff you could get at a fire sale price once the Pentium II came out. Writing on the wall that Intel had given up on socket 8. Ran Windows NT like a champ. Dual booting Windows 95 for games or unsupported software. 90% of the time was in NT. Even running Genesis/Mastersystem emulation (GenS I think) and SNES (ZSNES) games with a controller while playing MP3s with Winamp. 200Mhz low cache PPro felt so much faster than my older Pentium 133Mhz - and it cost way way less. At the time ram was such a huge issue and expense. Now it is such a passing thought.

I still want to get my hands on a 4x socket 8 motherboard. Filled with the larger cache PPros.

Intel definetly gets it right and proceeds to get it wrong it seems. Jesus loves you!

Ralph Ungermann went on to found Ungermanm-Bass, a network hardware and software maker. UB's Ethernet cards and XNS software were in general use at Microsoft when I was hired into the LAN Manager development group in 1990. They were also the first makers of twisted pair Ethernet interfaces I saw, circa 1992.

55:00 "The model for Wayland is ... predicated on the application running on the same machine as where all your graphics hardware is". <-- This is where Wayland went wrong, and why I don't use it. I rely on network transparency every day, now more than ever. Computing in general has become a lot more network transparent and more accessible over the decades. But Wayland strives to go in the opposite direction, and cuts out the architectural features I need to do simple things like typing and viewing programs and tracking my time. Like, at work I've got a desktop and two notebooks, and I use a single keyboard+mouse to control all three. This is trivial in X11 using network-transparent synthetic input devices with x2x. But in Wayland, this sort of thing is banned for security reasons, because "what if a hacker took control of your cursor?" So it talks only to the local physical inputs... which would mean either giving up both notebooks or physically hurting myself to use them. The devs' recommend solution is to run as root and create kernel-level fake inputs, and forget about multi-user or multi-host functionality. It's wild to hear that, for security reasons, I need to open up root access to regular users. Every time I've tried to use it, I run into dozens of things like this. And every year or so when I check if any of those issues are fixed, they're not... and it doesn't look like they ever will be.

ARM instruction set: memory inefficient.

Apple Newton used a Motorola SOC not ARM processors.

Z80 one of the best ❤

That is completly wrong. There is an full os inside the kernel plus an internal basic rom.....not only a basic rom and nothing else. You just use the os with the basic interpreter. 32:38

Interesting to hear about the Intel 8008 connection. I had heard elsewhere that it (or was it the 4004?) was invented for a Japanese calculator Company to cut down component count. Either way it is interesting little known detail. I never experienced arcnet but had slight exposure to garden hosenet and thinnet and token ring, also all dead and buried. Interesting video thanks

Don't ask me how, but I was able to run (passive) ArcNet on a mixture of ArcNet and Ethernet cabling!

16:02 that's not a teletype. That's a face

The commodore c128 had a z80 on board and in combination with a 1571 disc drive you could run cp/m on it. Not sure anyone did though.

The original Zilog plan was to start out with the Z8 (a microcontroller), then the Z80 general purpose processor and go from there. None were planned to be compatible with the others. They were forced to change the order and release the Z80 first, but the Z8 eventually did come out in 1979. Note that without the MMU the Z8000 could only address 64KB compared to 1MB for the 8086/8088 and 16MB for the 68000. It was the 1986 Z80000 that was Zilog's first 32 bit processor.

What about the Intel N10, N11, i860 etc. That little RISC chip that never went anywhere. I also think you should do Rambus (Pentium 4) unless you already did it and I can't find it. You can get half an hour out of just the litigation.

So, will the next video be about the 6502, then ? ;)

shitanium.

Ha! I was working for Oracle in that time! Who knows, this unit maybe used by me back in the day. Thanks for the video, Vic The Netherlands

Last used it in 1983. Nice processor.

The Windows API IS ALREADY open. The courts long ago resolved this question. APIs cannot be copyrighted, only their implementations can. That's why people were able to clone IBM's BIOS, which is an API. The Windows API HAS been implemented via the "Wine" open source project and other projects. It's far from perfect, mainly because it's hard to perfectly duplicate behaviors, especially when they're constantly changing, but an alternate implementation of Windows does exist and is in wide use. It's just not good enough for most apps.

Back many years ago I built a Z-80 based system from scratch. It had a Z-80B running at the full 6MHz, 64K of 150nSec static ram, 32K ROM, 24 bits of parallel I/O, and a Z8530 SCC that supported 4 channels of serial I/O. That was a great little machine in its day.

There's likely a whole video on the topic of alignment and how various 32 and 64 bit processors handle 16 and 8 bit values.

Worth noting the Game Boy used a custom Z80 variant with fewer features. Only 7 registers!

If you wanted to run a Pentium Pro back in the day, it required Windows NT to work properly. It was terrible with 16 BIT instructions.

My first contact with the Z80 was the NASCOM 1 in 1978. I got to like the Z80 although I did also use 6502 based Apple 2 at work. For some reason I preferred the Z80 over the 6502, but that may be because I encountered it first. The first ever microprocessor I encountered was the Nat Semi INS8060 SC/MP development system with a whole 256 bytes of RAM.

I got a timex sinclair 1000 a while back basicly new in the nice sinclar foam clam box... thing. I guess its time to give it a go. (Amazing what you can find in the Free section on crageslist)

My dad was the CFO at Zilog for a while and we used to play racketball with Federico on occasion. Super nice and very smart man. OG engineer

The entire history of Cyrix would be a great option.

The original Pentium 4 (RAMBUS) would be a great option.

The story goes that Bill Gates added 11 commas to Microsoft's OS/2 contract, which IBM lawyers approved. Then when IBM sued for breach of contract the Court ruled that Microsoft actually owned OS/2.

Note the book "Showstopper" by Zachary; he was an OS/2 and NT Developer. He points out IBM abandoned OS/2 support during development,
