 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |
Forum Index : Microcontroller and PC projects : Anyone interested in porting MMBasic to this? :)

I worked on the later versions about 50 years ago. All I was allowed to do was fix the 240V power points but surely that counts as it was essential for operation. VK7JH MMedit MMBasic Help |

My retired Father, now 92, went from PMG telephone exchange with relays and uniselectors in Hidelburg Telephone exchange, as maintaining them contacts, To final Telecom Lonsdale st international telephone exchange with advanced 'Cross bar switching' those STD And international calls. Telecommunications of Telecom installed the 'Alston computer' system designed to monitor faults for maintaining Telecommunications from all call services. It was a big blue box floor to cieling 2 racks wide, spitting out data sheets daily, exclusive assigned to my dad to learn, run and train. It had a monitoring computer attached, very high tech for 80's. 37 years, PMG to Telecom. Then my older brother got a job in Telecom to sold into Telstra. He at end of, you guessed it retired 37 year stint, Finally finished in exact same 447 Losdale St Exchange, on same floors, servicing the now digital network, beamed all around Australia! I got a visit privilege, have experience in latest broadcasting to the shock of understanding exactly how it all works to technology person shift, showing they had a broadcasting fault on there digital monitor! So Tassy Jim, your not alone, and it very much counts even 50 years ago! Love valves, a bit warm though. Now where to plug in the USB programming port, and flash with, well ?.UF0? |
