I can't resist asking about the nugget
buried in here about Ken
writing a small kernel for the 645. Is that in the archives anywhere?
As far as I understand, the code that is available is for the DPS-8M.
I have asked around for older code. I don't remember exactly, but
possibly 6180 era code might be around, but but unfortunately not 645. Ken even created a tiny kernel of a system for the
645, which actually printed out an equivalent of `hello world.'
This is the thing I'm curious about.
