Very cool. Maybe this will cause some of the documentation and software
that have been locked away in various private archives to finally shake
loose!

The museum had been one of Paul Allen's private passion projects. Sadly, he
died rather unexpectedly and he hadn't really had time to set up a proper
legal entity to protect it after his death, so it and all his other passion
projects ended up controlled by his wife's real estate company which

It's historically interesting, plus it might help the FreeDOS folks plug
some compatibility holes since they can now legally look at the old code to
see how it does things.

What are the odds that the letter was removed and lost when the system was
disassembled to be shipped to the auction house? I suspect that what was
ultimately a handshake deal is going to be ignored here.

He ran out of time. He was starting to formulate plans for his museums, but
had only got around to dealing with the Pop Culture Museum before he died.

Windows 2000 certainly had all the same support for fast graphics graphics
as Windows XP. Plenty of gamers actually preferred Win2k over XP because it
was lighter weight and could deliver better frame rates under some
circumstances.

Well that's sad news. Since VMS Software may or may not ever launch a
proper hobbyist program and has stated that they don't have the ability to
issue licenses for VAX versions of VMS, that means we have until 2021 to
legally use VMS on the vintage hardware or emulations. After that, I guess

IIRC, System III is not really "legal", as it was never re-licensed with a
BSD style license the way earlier editions were. Of course, the important
thing was the open source release of V7 and 32V, as that allowed the

The PDP-11 and VAX versions of BSD have been freely available for years. As
soon as V7 and 32V were declared open source, that meant that everybody had
a valid Unix source license and were therefore eligible to download the

Great news. I look forward to trying it out. Other than compilers, is there
much else to run on Prime at the moment? Do any applications still exist to
try and run? Is Prime Information (apparently the platform's "killer app")

Indeed. This looks bad. Hopefully they can pull a rabbit out of their hat

This thread has been truly enlightening. I had no idea that UniSys had
hobbyist versions of both their Univac and Burroughs stuff available. I'll
have to give them both a try. Is there any software out there for them or
is the general idea that you're supposed to write your own?

Is that the right link? The video I saw was talking about setting up

In practical terms, I suspect that running VMS on a VAX (real or emulated)
will end up a lot like running DEC's PDP-11 software. Not technically
legal, but also not a practical problem, because the people who own the
rights simply don't care and aren't going to waste their time and resources

Something in another recent thread about LISP machines got me wondering:
how many early graphical systems are well emulated (or emulated at all)? I

So what happened to cancel the release? Did Apple get cold feet and
withdraw permission? Was there simply more work and less time than expected?

IIRC, Xterm has ReGIS and Sixel support in it's code these days, but most

some reason.

Grab the sources from https://invisible-island.net/xterm/ and build
it. Documentation is lacking,but you should be able to find out what
options are needed to enable ReGIS and Sixel graphics by running

The recent discussion of the sudden disappearance of DtCyber and the
