Subject: [TUHS] [tuhs] PDP-11 and early Unix
Date: Mon, 14 Mar 2022 06:58:24 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CMM.0.95.0.1647262704.beebe@gamma.math.utah.edu> (raw)
Although the story is well known to members of this list, there is a nice
compact history of the PDP-11 and early Unix at this new article:
A brief tour of the PDP-11, the most influential minicomputer of all time
https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/03/a-brief-tour-of-the-pdp-11-the-most-influential-minicomputer-of-all-time/
It describes PDP-11 assembly language, and shows the booting of a Unix
system on a simh instance. It also includes the famous picture of
Dennis and Ken at a PDP-11 console, and concludes with a link to an
online text of a book about PDP-11 assembly language programming.
