Diff for "FirstComputer"

Differences between revisions 1 and 2

The FirstComputer that TimRiker ever worked on was at [http://www.penfield.edu/phs/ Penfield High School] in [http://www.penfield.org/web/ Penfield, New York]. It was likely an HP-2114A model.

The system config as best recollected:

mounted in a rack mount cabinet
32k of RAM installed split 5/5/3/3 or similar for the 2 CRTs, card reader and teletype
1 "graphics" terminal (honeywell?)
1 test crt terminal
[http://www.pdp8.net/asr33/asr33.shtml ASR-33 teletype] with punch tape reader (writer?)
2? disk drives. (type? 8" floppy? drum?
external tape punch was not connected.
card reader
line printer

It was running a time slicing basic environment. Perhaps the "TIME-SHARING EXECUTIVE" mentioned in the [http://oscar.taurus.com/~jeff/2100/family/family.html sales brochure]?

There are multiple emulators around for this platform. TimRiker is trying to get one running for old time's sake. Here are some useful links:
