Liam, thanks for posting this. What a wonderful way to waste an hour. ; )
I can also highly recommend the book 'Digital Apollo', which goes into some
detail about the man-machine interface of the AGC and the internal debate at
the time of the role of man as "spacecraft pilot". -C

Amazingly detailed 1hr talk about the Apollo Guidance Computer. It's
stunning how much they got into mid-1960s technology: 1 MHz hand-made
processor, 1 k of RAM, 4 k of ROM, and bank-switching, with a
fault-tolerant multitasking OS with an interpreted metalanguage.
Absolutely stunning.
Once again. Silent700 put together an incredible show for the Midwest
computer festival in Elk Grove. Every room that was rented was almost
overflowing most of the show, so I suspect attendance was great. I heard a
lot of good feedback on the speakers and presentations, and I also noticed
that the

Its a shame it wasn't in the complete unit. Unless someone actually erases it,
core memory will hold data until the sun swells up, as a red giant, and toast
the earth.
One always wonders what one would find on these old cores.

I'll check my system tomorrow if I can. If you are using a DEC MS11-LB or
LD or compatible, you will need a DD11CK or DK backplane. If used in a
BA11-BF, you will Need DD11-CF or DF, which is the same as the CK/DK, but
with a longer wiring harness.
DEC made an "extension cable" to do this, but
