Only F*tran, which we used for predicting race horse results on the midnight shift. The enterprise app was written in ART418 assembler.

I'm having lots of fun with the ESDI drives, got one running RT11 on the 11/73, and one running NetBSD on the MicroVAX, but then tried the two I got from Jeremy and it recognised them and wouldn't write to them. Then the controller got a total internal failure and so now I only have one machine working!

cheers,

Nigel

You had a COMPILER?

As far as I can see, these days the state of the art is to crash at runtime for as many different stupid reasons as possible.

Disagree here ;-)
Before you hit compile, you switched your brain on, and thought for a while what you did.

When I watch this kids in the office now pressing compile after each character they typed, ....
