Foonly[edit]

Hello.

I just rewrote entirely the Foonly article. Because the article is about Foonly Inc (the company) and not the Foonly F1 (computers), I removed almost all content of the old article, and write a more general history with a lot of sources, and a table with all Foonly computers.

I will create a new article specifically about Foonly F-1 : don't hesitate to help me.

Regards. --FlyAkwa (talk) 23:58, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what the Wikipedia protol is, do I answer here? I have some information here: http://pdp10.nocrew.org/cpu/processors.html, and of course Bitsavers is a rich well of data.

And here: https://github.com/PDP-10/foonly/wiki

Hi Lars ! Unfortunately, the wikipedia's fundamentalists had strike, and deleted my Foonly-F1 article. I then put it in the Foonly article...

Of course, I used bitsavers and your website for my edits on Wikipedia, especially the Foonly article.

I also recreated lot of supercomputers, like CDC6600, with a 3D modeller, and used some CGI to illustrate supercomputers articles. With the help of Dev Sieg, I also recreated the Foonly F1. But now, I want no more use my CGI on wikipedia, and want use these CGI to create a website/database about supercomputers.

I would like suggest http://gunkies.org/wiki/ as a better place for your efforts. Lars Brinkhoff (talk) 13:35, 8 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

change to Space cadet keyboard[edit]

I noticed you made a change to that article. I'm going to put something on the talk page because that's where we should have the discussion but just wanted to give you a heads up to please look there. Thanks. --MadScientistX11 (talk) 22:06, 27 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello MadScientistX11,

I have been researching and restoring ITS software the last few years; it's running in simulation. ITS has software for the Stanford keyboard, the Knight keyboard, the CONS lisp machine, and the CADR lisp machine. I'd be happy to hash out the details on the talk page. Please post more information if you can find it. Lars Brinkhoff (talk) 07:54, 28 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

MEIS[edit]

Hello again Lars,

Do know anything about the Stanford Massbus Ethernet Interface Subsystem, MEIS? It's probably the first ethernet board for PDP-10s. I've never seen a picture or a physical diagram of it. ---- Thank you, Jamplevia (talk) 14:59, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I'll check the SailDart archives. Meanwhile, have you seen this? http://bitsavers.org/pdf/stanford/meis/ Lars Brinkhoff (talk) 08:11, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I checked SailDart already and there are catalogs of tapes with "meis" in their names. I don't know how to get the tapes themselves. Perhaps you do? I already put the one of the PDFs from bitsavers into a citation ref on this lists article: other cisco products. From what I found on usenet (I also cited usenet posts in that list article) the board goes into a PDP-11/40 front-end processor. The usenet posts also state that the XKL Toad-1 XNI-1 Ethernet interface card was based on the MEIS. ---- Jamplevia (talk) 12:30, 24 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
