The repairs of my #Enterprise64 continue. It can run an old 32K ROM but not a newer 64K ROM. Also it fails the RAM test. Replaced the old soldered RAM chips with new socketed ones. Same result. Main suspect now is one or more of the address lines on the PCB. Unsure how to test it, as one of the ASICs does some clever memory banking, which probably means they're not directly attached to the #z80 CPU.
I'm way out of my comfort zone here, but I'm trying to diagnose and fix a 40 year old #vintagecomputer.
While I wait for the paint to dry on the #Enterprise G, I’ll be continuing work on number 8 on the list of “models I started last year and really need to finish”. The #Battlestar#Pegasus. I used paint masks to add some panels in a lighter shade, painted the larger recessed areas Gunmetal and painted the red stripes at the front. Still got some details to paint (might take a while). #BattlestarGalactica#BSG#4105Scale#ScaleModels#ModelBuilder#MKMModelwerx
Firing up #PolyPascal on my 40 year old #Enterprise64 for the first time in probably 35 years. Actually, I'm not sure if I ever go PolyPascal running on it, or it was just the previous version, Compas Pascal. Glad to see an old #Dnaisg friend from the #CPM era again though. It's been too long.
@amoroso So, PolyData - a Danish company - initially wrote and published Compas Pascal, AFAIK the first commercially available version of Pascal. This was eventually sold off to Borland and renamed to Turbo Pascal. Somewhere in between, Compas Pascal changed name to PolyPascal to avoid clashing with someone else's product. It was first released as PolyPascal/80 for CP/M then PolyPascal/86 for CP/M and MS-DOS. Anders Hejlsberg, chief architect behind Delphi and Typescript played a major role in the development of Pascal, although I'm not sure exactly as to what extent. I have often credited him with being the inventor but I'm not 100% sure. I grew up on PolyPascal and later moved to Turbo C++ - good times.

Are you thinking about switching from #Jira to #OpenProject? 🔄 Then you might want to read the story of 'Was hab' ich?', a German NGO in the #healthcare sector.
How did they migrate from Jira to OpenProject? And how well did the employees cope with this change?
