PiDP-8 update #6!

I ordered a custom mini repro of the Data General Dasher monitor, as popularized recently by the Apple TV show "Severence". (5 inch LCD within)

You are encouraged by the PIDP-8 developers to connect it to old school hardware and use the serial port to talk to it if possible, and I will eventually get my friend who has a VT220 to help me set it up.

For now though I'm enjoying the retro aesthetic here, even if nothing about it is particularly period-accurate. I'm using HDMI and forcing the Pi to use a green console foreground, and just a small Bluetooth keyboard that fits. It looks satisfyingly retro to me and ngl kinda cute.

The choice of a DG terminal to connect to a DEC computer might give some of my Digital alum friends pause, but there is a connection here:

The founder of Data General, Edson de Castro, originally worked for Digital before leaving to start DG. His notable contribution there? Lead developer of the PDP-8!

Usagi Electric, Forgotten Machines, & Nevets at VCF Southwest 2025

[Usagi Electric], [Forgotten Machines], and [Nevets01] collaborated on a massive exhibit of unique old hardware.

[Usagi Electric] had an interactive exhibit with his recently rebuilt PDP 11/73 running examples of spectroscopy analysis using a Bomem vector processor. [Usagi] also demonstrated a Data General Nova 1210 running BASIC.

[Forgotten Machines] had a variety of old terminals, computers, and peripherals on display. He was on-hand throughout the show to help anyone image and preserve their old magnetic media.

[Nevets] had an interactive exhibit with a Data General Nova 1200 running BASIC alongside a (sadly non-functional) Digital Computer Controls D-116, a clone of the Nova 1200.
