The first actual computer class I took in school was on a TRASH-80 Model 3. Of course, I was writing assembly language programs on it while the rest of the class was doing “Hello World” in BASIC.
Don’t need an emulator, still have a working real McCoy!
Not to detract from the (Windows, C#) emulator mentioned here, but I’m almost surprised it’s not written in Javascript. I’ve stumbled upon several emulators for various things in recent days. I can’t say it’s that unique to find such, we’ve all seen it before. But the sheer number of working emulators that run in web browsers now (including Linux for various cpus) is mind-boggling! Hey, I don’t even grok Javascript, but it’s still fascinating how far they’ve taken it.
I know I used to have one of these but can’t remember doing much with it. Loading programs was a ~!@#$%
Heh, my antivirus (sorry, corporate) says “Verified fraudulent page or threat source.” when trying to open that page…
False positive.
Yeah, so? It’s the only site in months, if not years, that triggers it. And there’s no way I can get around it here. Still sucks…
Not having used it, but poking around old, creaky Disk file systems, TRS-DOS had some interesting features. Notably being able to redirect devices, and add filters.
Simple example is that you could add a filter to your printer to add LINEFEED whenever it saw a CR. Mind this was at the system level, the software was, of course, ignorant.
Not as elegant the modern command shell, but, it was starkly missing from most everything else in that era.
