@jbowen Maybe on #IBM owned PowerVS Cloud. Seems that there could be promo codes available https://www.ibm.com/downloads/documents/us-en/10a99803c6afda72
Price estimator gives 60$/month. With promo code it should be free of charge. Never tested it though.
The number of code pages defined by #IBM for its mainframes and #IBMPC is absolutely staggering.
Take a look: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page#IBM_code_pages
Thank goodness for #Unicode!
@alatariel You mean the #IBM3592 / #IBM #TS1170?
I mean they are the go-to accessory for #zArchitecture mainframes...

@harald Generally, no. Let me be verbose :D There are a lot of problems with that slash in the name which makes it hard to find and post OS/2-related stuff:
/2
dangling. I can coerce it to search for it by manually editing the URL with %2f
in place of the /
, but it seems to not actually search for hashtags but simply plaintext search when I do that.#
) itself is not part of the anchor text./2
at all, considering the slash another word separator.Whichever search engine I use (not fediverse), finding OS/2 stuff is made harder because of the same issue, and you need to treat it specially by quoting or escaping or whatever your search engine of choice prefers.
@glitzersachen @Yuki propblem is that AFAIK all #LTO drive mechanisms are made exclusively by #IBM and at a pretty premium.
And it has this nice booklet inside published by Bell Labs, with Max V Matthews as technical consultant
I have a large collection of #electronic and #computer #music #vinyl #records. I had a radio show on FM on the subject for about a decade. So it is always exciting to find something I don't have, especially early stuff. Found this 10" boxed "Music from Mathematics" from 1960, bell labs. Much more rare than 1962 Decca 12". Never seen it before. Found in a local shop, of all places, hiding inside a vinyl carry case.

In the late '70s & early '80s there were a lot of ppl saying that #computers were useless toys. And they were mostly right at the time. #Communication was and is the no1 killer app for computers (no, not #games). But that didn't fully arrive until 1997 for most ppl, 20 years later. Also consider that when capable #smartphones came around in 2007, people stopped using computers (now, 90% of overall usage is on #phones).

Had coffee with a guy this morning, he mentioned os/2. Do you remember and know what that is?
