I would absolutely be interested in this - while I'd love to use original
hardware where possible, it's not always easy to get peripherals at the same
time as machines. A long term dream of mine is to build some sort of
general-purpose box that can make connections to arbitrary vintage computer
Thanks for posting this Joseph - that was a great video! A great example of

I've had pretty great luck with using SCSI2SDs in my various mostly-90s
workstations (https://blog.pizzabox.computer/, among a few others). In a few
cases (VAXstation 4000 VLC, Quadra 610) you need to put the settings to emulate
a "real" model of drive, but otherwise compatibility has been
I'm pretty sure these are just raw images, as Torfinn suggested. If
you run strings(1) on them, you see the contents of all sorts of shell
scripts and the text portion of binaries, etc. I'm guessing that the
images have a partition table header that libmagic just doesn't know
about.
I'm waiting
I too am very interested in this - I just picked up an AViiON on eBay and I’m
excited to restore it but have seen precious little in the way of OS images or
manuals and the like

I have a Sony CDU561-SC (it came in a Sun 411 case - not sure if Sun
ever sold them like this or if it was custom) that worked just fine to
boot an HP 9000/425e (one of the last 68k models, I think?) the other
day. Its been pretty handy for various old workstations (except for my

I misspoke - Spectre potentially affects all processors that use
*pipelining and speculative execution*, not just superscalar ones (I
mis-parsed "all modern processors capable of keeping many instructions
in flight").
There's been ongoing patches to the Linux kernel for Meltdown (and for
other
>From the exploit homepage (https://spectreattack.com/) , it seems like the
Meltdown vulnerability affects all out-of-order executing Intel *branded*
CPUs (from the P6 onward), and the Spectre vulnerability potentially
impacts all superscalar processors of...all brands potentially :(

I've had v good luck w/ old video inputs & the ASUS PB78Q - I've gotten
video from:
* DEC VAXstation 4000 VLC (3W3 -> 3 BNC -> VGA)
* DEC 3000 AXP 300 (3W3 -> 3 BNC -> VGA)
* Sun SPARCstation (13W3 -> VGA)
* SGI Indy (13W3 -> VGA)
* NeXTstation mono (DB19 -> VGA w/ a cable off ebay)

I have the second edition (there appears to now be a third out!) but
re-reading the preface and "what's changed since the first edition" doesn't
seem to say what I remembered re: buses (namely, it says nothing at all).
It is possibly my professors were referring to a much earlier
course/textbook
I want to say that earlier editions of “Computer Systems: A Programmers
Perspective” had a bunch of discussions of buses etc in addition to assembly,
compilers, linking, etc. but the edition I have explicitly calls out that they
felt like it wasn’t important to have chapters on anymore :(
