Zane, I have been searching for the Battlestar Galactica programs or data files since I got my 4052 and 4054 in 2000.
We may have to recreate them from the couple of screenshots on the web :) The closeup screenshots on the TV shows may have been from 4010 series Tektronix monitors. I haven't seen any other info on the web from folks actually involved in helping during the taping of those shows. I created a program in 2000 in honor of Battlestar Galactica titled Vipers. That program is posted on the Tek 4051 Emulator github site. Here is a link to my post on vcfed - which has a screenshot from running it on the emulator - since I had not repaired my 4052 or 4054 until a month or so later. Here is a link showing running Vipers on my repaired 4054: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G3Xk-B5ZgUFYUTBrK3VevoqMXs_PIGsx/view?usp=sharing The random number printout at the bottom of the screen - showed my 4054 had just been upgraded to a 4054A from an upgrade kit I bought in 2000 off EBAY but had not installed. :) Monty On Sun, Jul 15, 2018 at 3:58 PM, Zane Healy <heal...@avanthar.com> wrote: > Looking at that Snoopy picture brought back a couple memories.
