Reminds me of The Book of Lists[^] which originally came out when us old farts were young whipper snappers writing 6502 assembly language for the Apple II and Commodore PET, object oriented programming probably wasn't even a gleam in Stroustrup's eye, and databases were called ISAM files, usually requiring low level interfaces to the sector maps of the 5 1/4" floppy drive.

But we do have volcanoes[^], who knew? (ok two of them are cheating, but that still leaves us with one more than I learned in school)
I've walked in this one.[^] Very cool. It was a long walk from the parking lot (after driving a few miles on a dirt road) and by the time my son and I were ready to head back, it was getting rather dark. From the top of the volcano, I could see the parking lot area a couple miles a away and fixed on some mountain peaks in the distance. Kept my bearing that way, missed the parking lot by about 1/2 mile in the ensuing darkness but hit the dirt road, so found our way back to the car that way. It was a fun adventure! Marc

That predated even me! Though my highschool buddy was working at a job on a system with 8" floppies using CPM. Marc

What about List of lists of lists[^]?
Oxfords English < Official CCC Players Dictionary Excuse me for my improper grammar and typos. It's because English is my primary language, not my first language. My first languages are C# and Java. VB, ASP, JS, PHP and SQL are my second language. Indonesian came as my third language. My fourth language? I'm still creating it, I'll let you know when it's done! :-D

This cpushack site also publishes a lot of badly researched rubbish, probably copied from yet another uninformed source. So a CDP1802 does not have any conditional branching instructions, which you then have to emulate with conditional skips? I wonder what I have been using then all that time... Ans it does not have a stack pointer? No, instead it has 16 general purpose registers of which you can make any one the stack pointer at any time. If you wish, you can have 15 stack pointers (one register would have to be the program counter). Whoever wrote that, he probably confused that with instructions to call or return from subroutines. It does not need them. The program counter is handled in a similar fashion as the stack pointer. Just load any of 16 registers with an address and make it the program counter and if you wish to return from your routine, you just go ahead and make the previous register program counter again. The CDP1802 is not weird, but back then its early RISC design appeared strange when compared to the numerous CISC processors.

The site popped up when I tried to locate some info on the Tandberg Data TDV-2114 computer - I used that one a loooong time ago ;) As for the CDP1802 - I can't remember any other CPU that has SEX on it's most basic level ;)

Melody's Amazon Herb SiteOh you fancy young things with your 5-1/4" floppies. Real men had 8" floppies, and our women loved us for it. (this is going downhill rapidly)
