I recommend Journey to the Moon by Eldon Hall, designer of the AGC. The O'Brien book has a lot of good information but also a lot of problems. Sunburst and Luminary is also interesting, written by Don Eyles who wrote much of the lunar landing code. He goes into a detailed explanation of the 1202 program alarms.
- troutwine 8y agoDidn't know about Sunburst and Luminary. Thanks.
- 1201alarm 8y agoEyles came to the Vintage Computer Festival-East in Wall, NJ last year, and was introduced by Frank O'Brien who's a regular there. He actually did a code walkthrough of the Apollo 14 flaky-switch hack - coolest talk I've ever attended. Scott Manley did a pretty good Youtube episode on the Apollo 14 hack last year also; the two of them complement each other nicely.
