Is this a AI generated video ?

I'd like to feed Tara some cake 😉

Darn, I wish I had Tara's phone number. She is at least 20-uears older than in this video, but I am older than that. 😍😛

Been there, and I have a tee shirt. I used assembly language for critical time programming - I still have a programming card.

They use to program atari 6502 assembly on the pdp11 then tested on a 2600

wow

Came for the PDP11... Stayed for the acting.

I copied someone else’s homework without reading the questions. The teacher wrote across the top of the paper, “nice work JOHN”. One question was write your name in hexidecimal; … oops.

This is some hokey shit.

The guy with his shirt tucked in looks like Greg from the Brady Bunch. 😆😆

Hahaha the acting 😆😆

U LIKE DICK?

Man. This brought back memories. I used to do the same things when I worked at DEC in the 70s

Flying back in time about 15 years would not give that big differences today. The first gen i7 was already out and a just above average machine would well be able to run Win 10 and by your daily driver in 2023....

Very cheesy intro with too much pomp...

Cool. Someone should do a GNU/Linux port.

Cool 👍🏻

Cool 👍🏻

Cool 👍🏻

the cringe acting 🤣

This is cool. I hope the wig didn't "blow the budget", lol

de 200 metros de papel para 1kb de um sdcard hahahahahahah

Great wig

Best video saga ever

I had to take two assembly language courses to get my BS in Computer and Information Sciences. The first was assembly language for the IBM mainframe computers. The second was for the PDP-11 (I still have the textbook.) Assembly language for the PDP-11 was very different than for IBM and at first very confusing. Once I got the hang of all the different addressing modes, it seemed easier, very flexible and I enjoyed it. The IBM assembly language seemed primitive in comparison.

So, is there an operating system at all, or does it just run one program at a time, off of the paper tape (or front panel toggle switches)? In any case, it's a fun video. Nice job.

When was this made?

Ummm... why does she keep looking at his crotch!! So disrespectful! 🙃

Ahh.. Finally i understood how punch cards/paper tape programming was actually done from assembly language. Great video!

Yes, I’m a nerd. However, I think I’m in love. Wowza! The nice lady is pretty cute, too!

I managed it's older cousin, PDP 11/73 in the late 70's and early 80's.

Never, ever, enter a holodeck that is version 1.0!

Cheezy, but fun! I'm old enough that I actually lived through that era, though thankfully near the end of it when CRTs and hard drives and timeshare operating systems were becoming more widely used. My very first program, in 1977, was written on a Varian 620f, which had a hard drive, so all you needed to toggle in was the hard drive boot program, then run the editor on the TTY, enter the assembler mnemonics, save to disk, then run the assembler (debug, rinse, repeat), then run the resulting program. Hello world was very popular then too LOL! When I graduated to bigger systems, we got to punch our programs on 80 column cards, then transfer them to magnetic tape, then run the assembler, etc, etc, still outputting to TTY. A few years later, we were programming on PDP-11/44 running RSTS/E, with one computer (the size of a room!) supporting 20 programmers with a whopping 256K of RAM and a 480MB hard drive which I'm sure the whole system cost well over $100K (in 1985 dollars), but at least we got to use DEC VT102 (80x25 CRT) monitors... sweet! Ah, memories...

so...sex?

This video is still great! Pity it's only 240p.

This video definitely served it's purpose of introducing the PDP. I'm working on building a clone of the Altair 8800, and am always interested in the 70's technology. Thank you for making the video. Could you share a link to watch the fifteen minute show? I believe this show had some of the same actors, directors, etc, but I haven't been able to find it.

I remember back when I bought my first PC in 1987 (a 80386), I went with a 40MB hard drive (Seagate ST-4051) and a buddy who was a PDP-11 programmer and operator told me I was wasting my money to buy a drive that big that I would never fill it up. I still have that hard drive and now wonder if I will ever be able to see what's on that drive.

I was to the marketing guy for the 11/10 which was exactly like the 11/05 except for one thing, the bezel. The 11/05 was originally targeted for the Orginal Equipment Market, OEM and the margins were very low. The marketing and sales cost for the end-user market was much greater so we need more money for the computer. There we created another model for that market. As I remember it was $500 more. I also had to explain the difference between the 11/05 and 11/10. Never lied just told the truth. The only time a program was toggled in was to run a loader for paper tape input or some other device. The teletype was the cheapest loader and was very slow. Its speed was 110 baud.

Loved watching this, great job everyone!

Thank you SO much for this! Did I mention THANKS!

This video is old as shit

What program are you duplicating?

Great job on this video.

Can tell that's not real 1970s video coz there are supposed to be naked chicks printed by the Decwriter on the wall.

The inside of such computer has lots of cooling fans, which can get pretty dirty. So in manufacturing areas we had to do maintenance monthly, take it all apart and clean all circuit boards and cooling fans to avoid overheating. It was a real dirty job for a Rookie technician.

Being a DEC technician we used the console to toggle in minimal code like to print letter a to the attached printer. That told us that Cpu and memory is basically working. Typical repair time about under 15 min. To repair disk drives and tape recorders takes longer. Memory boards been pretty expensive in the days. A car crashed into my trunk and damaged my spare part containers. 90% of the total damage was on my parts, 10% on my car.

I don't go to DePauw, but thank you.

Does it run Dos or Windows lol happy memories of Dec 146486

"so anyway I have this holodeck that can literally transport us through time, wanna try it ?" Girl : "yeah sure whatever I have a spare 10 mins I guess"

Nice DECWriter. I remember the first time I saw one operate, I was amazed. It could print faster than I could read. Bidirectional printing, I think.
