TechHeart [me!] posted another video this weekend... still enjoying the Dolch PAC-60 486/DX66 machine and MS-DOS completely packed with softwarez... so, we take a left turn and jimmy Minix 2.0.4 on the machine. It was fun, and interesting to [finally] experience Minux - the OS designed by Andrew Tenenbaum only b/c AT&T was breathing down his, and other professors, necks telling them they couldn't continue teaching Unix to students... without Minux, Linus may have never gotten the bug to develop Linux - what would the world be like built on top of FreeBSD rather than Linux??? We'll never know - because of all these pioneers...
For now, watch an amateur figure out how to finesse the OS onto hardware that most humans have forgotten about - but is still teaching me in 2024. Come along, if yer ok with YT...

Some guy built a homebrew 4 mhz CPU with TTL's running Minix 2.
telnet to magic-1.org as guest:magic

this is so cool. i always wanted to build a pc from scratch.. though i suppose what i really always meant when i thought about it was to build
a motherboard and all that myself.. that guy is next level!

I'm tempted by some of these CP/M homebrew kits out there - I don't know
if anyone made an offline reader for CP/M, though. That would be the
one thing I'd need in a text-mode computer.

so i was going to post about how the qwk format is pretty simple .. so
you could probably whip one up.. but then i got it into my head to
prove it myself heh. i got it to the point it can read some messages
with a little help from unzip and an emulator so it's pretty artifical but:
