Thanks man, this is a treasure trove. Diving straight into it when on bus.

I love to occasionally just recreationally read over the OpenFirmware source code as fine literature, especially the kernel and metacompiler, since it's just such elegant beautifully polished and refined code, the results of so many decades of meticulous work on so many platforms and devices. metacompile.fth: https://github.com/MitchBradley/openfirmware/blob/master/forth/kernel/metacompile.fth https://github.com/MitchBradley/openfirmware/blob/master/for... kernel.fth: https://github.com/MitchBradley/openfirmware/blob/master/forth/kernel/kernel.fth https://github.com/MitchBradley/openfirmware/blob/master/for... arm64: https://github.com/MitchBradley/openfirmware/tree/master/cpu/arm64 https://github.com/MitchBradley/openfirmware/tree/master/cpu... emacs: https://github.com/MitchBradley/openfirmware/tree/master/clients/emacs https://github.com/MitchBradley/openfirmware/tree/master/cli... olpc: https://github.com/MitchBradley/openfirmware/tree/master/dev/olpc https://github.com/MitchBradley/openfirmware/tree/master/dev... video: https://github.com/MitchBradley/openfirmware/tree/master/dev/video https://github.com/MitchBradley/openfirmware/tree/master/dev... amd7990: https://github.com/MitchBradley/openfirmware/tree/master/dev/amd7990 https://github.com/MitchBradley/openfirmware/tree/master/dev... pci: https://github.com/MitchBradley/openfirmware/tree/master/dev/pci https://github.com/MitchBradley/openfirmware/tree/master/dev... fcode: https://github.com/MitchBradley/openfirmware/tree/master/ofw/fcode https://github.com/MitchBradley/openfirmware/tree/master/ofw... gui: https://github.com/MitchBradley/openfirmware/tree/master/ofw/gui https://github.com/MitchBradley/openfirmware/tree/master/ofw... inet: https://github.com/MitchBradley/openfirmware/tree/master/ofw/inet https://github.com/MitchBradley/openfirmware/tree/master/ofw...

As the stories continued, it was revealed that the Fortress was where Superman's robot duplicates were stored. It also contained the Phantom Zone projector, various pieces of alien technology he had acquired on visits to other worlds, and, much like the Batcave, trophies of his past adventures. Indeed, the Batcave and Batman himself made an appearance in the first Fortress story. The Fortress also became the home of the bottle city of Kandor (until it was enlarged), and an apartment in the Fortress was set aside for Supergirl.
