It looks consistent with the Apple II HGR mode 'MIXED' which has 4 lines of upper case text at the bottom (40 columns) and the rest of the screen is high-res 280 pixel lines. (192-4\*8 rows, whatever that is.) Not sure what program he is running though. Looks like a simple CAD app.

REV3E PC/AT 80286 system recreation based on historic IBM 5170 technology

I used to run Minix 1.5 on my 286 back from 1990 to 1993 or so, when I finally got the world's crappiest 386 and moved to Linux. Minix 1.5 is basically UNIX v7 reimplemented with a message-passing microkernel. It's not bad, as far as it goes, but really suffers from the 64K-per-process (64K code + 64K data if you go "Split I+D") limitation.

I used to run a PDP-8/e and some PDP-11s in my house. Let me tell you, fan noise is not a new problem! What has changed is modern fans are smaller, faster and more of them (so higher pitched sound.) Typical PDP-11 has three 7" or so fans at the back of the unit, plus usually a large blower at the top of the rack. Each disk drive, tape reader, or other peripheral has its own fans. Gets loud!

If it was Minix 1.5 it needs patches to boot from HDD, so back in the day it always needed a boot floppy. I recall the patches were called something like "bootlace" and "shoelace" but I haven't been able to find them on Google. Maybe comp.os.minix archives can help with this though.

Adorbs! I wonder what a PDP-11 architecture graphical micro could have looked like in an alternate universe. Like a VAXStation but a PDPStation. (And in this fantasy, not made by DEC but instead being price competetive with ST and Amiga.)

Handy for copying, but also the Apple II had a pretty amazing OS later on (ProDOS). It supported directories and even hard drives up to 32MB. Was something salvaged from the SOS operating system developed for the Apple ///. Apps like Appleworks really are much easier to use with dual drives. Also UCSD Pascal (not ProDOS but its whole own OS in its own right) is borderline unusable on a single disk system.

I made a Windows serial-to-TCP modem bridge so vintage computers can dial Telnet BBSes. I used it with my CoCo 3 to get on BBSes. Hope it helps someone else. Link in body.

I meant plain old tcpser under Ubuntu under WSL2. I wonder if the WSL2 Linux kernel can take ownership of an attached USB serial converter thingie. Hmmm, an experiment for another day!

Ah cool - glad you didn't have to reinvent the wheel and ended up making something more useful for Windows users 😄 I wonder if tcpser works under WSL2 (I haven't tried it - I usually go 'full Linux').

Yes, I remember 1 VAX MIP being the benchmark for ages. 3 MIPs was pretty decent for its day! Interesting to see an i7 is around 300,000 MIPs! [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions\_per\_second](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructions_per_second)
