SaustrupMy brand new <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/mfmemulator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mfmemulator</a> from <a href="https://decromancer.ca/mfm-emulator/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://decromancer.ca/mfm-emulator/</a> arrived from <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a> about a week ago. It doubles as an MFM harddisk reader as well as an emulator, and I just happened to have a 40 year old disk lying around.<a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/MFM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MFM</a> was a weird standard, at least compared to SCSI and IDE. It's much closer to that of a floppy drive, than the hard disks we use today. That becomes apparent, when you realize that there are a lot of different standards for putting data on an MFM disks, and I'm just talking ones and zeroes here, not high level data like file systems. Basically, one model MFM controller probably won't read the data that another wrote on the same disk.With that in mind, I was a little worried that the emulator wouldn't read my <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/CPM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CPM</a> disk that was previously connected to an old Adaptec SCSI-to-MFM controller. To my surprise it worked like a charm, and I'm now looking at <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/pascal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pascal</a> source code my dad wrote in the mid <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/80s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#80s</a>. I'd call that a success! 🙂

SaustrupHere's a weird thing I found, while restoring my old <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/CPM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CPM</a> computers from <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/GeminiMicrocomputers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GeminiMicrocomputers</a>: while there were models available with Winchester drives (that's harddisks for you young folks), the setup was a little weird. This was the time of the <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/MFM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MFM</a> and RLL harddrives, used by other systems such as the IBM 5150. Easily recognizable by having two flat ribbon cables instead of just one for each drive. RLL was a little more tightly packed with capacity, but basically the same concept - required slightly different controllers though. Anyway, back to the Gemini. It featured a <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/SASI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SASI</a> interface, which is sort of an early version of <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/SCSI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SCSI</a>. Did you connect a drive directly to it? Noooo. You connected a <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/Xebec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Xebec</a> SCSI/MFM controller. Did that require a lot of weird SCSI commands for telling the Xebec what disk was attached? Of course. Compared to how it's done today, very backwards.Which meant I had zero luck with my new <a href="https://mstdn.dk/tags/zuluscsi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zuluscsi</a> device. <a href="https://zuluscsi.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://zuluscsi.com/</a>I've got a plan B though.

The Times Of IndiaThe CPM issued a detailed note to explain why their draft political resolution does not label the Modi government as fascist, which has created tensions with its ally CPI.
