I remember taking assembler class circa 1998 on a VAX at Drake University. 8 addressing modes and that floating point that wrapped around like a snake eating it's tail.
I don't want a RasPi or an Arduino. I want a VAX on USB.
- detaro 11y agoMaybe there is an FPGA implementation somewhere?
- nickpsecurity 11y agoBuy a NuVax: http://logical-co.com/ http://logical-co.com/ This company specializes in VAX clones for legacy systems they're too afraid to port. Especially in military or older companies. I'm sure it can recreate most of your experience accurately in both good and bad ways. :)
- yyin 11y agoRight on. I remember using a VAX in the 1980's and it still seems like the fastest computer I ever used. Everything that came after seemed sluggish by comparison. Then many years ago I tried someone's VAX image in the simh simulator running on on MS Windows. It was "too fast", if there is such a thing. I want a pocket-sized VAX.
