[TUHS] Unix v4 tape FOSDEM talk

[Diomidis Spinellis via TUHS]

I gave a short talk at FOSDEM 2026 on integrating the v4 tape into the 
GitHub Unix history repository.  It's now available online at 
https://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/FOSDEM/video/2026/h2215/DCDAUY-the_v4_tape_in_the_unix_history_repo.av1.webm

Thanks for the talk Diomidis!

only one thing was weird: the v4 kernel was not written in New B,
already the language of the last1120c compiler was called C.

From (what i claim is) New B we only have a few binary commands in a
threaded code that deals with bytes, so very early-C-like semantics.

cheers,
