Great series, I would have loved to have seen it go a bit more in depth and show using some of the other compilers like fortran for the pdp11. and perhaps show an actual operating system running with disks on the thing. Sorry about my post in part 1 I had no idea where this was going.

This is an excellent series. In junior college, we used a PDP-11, but must have been a later series (this was 1981-2), because we had monitors to enter BASIC programs. We did not have to interact with the console whatsoever. This video series taught me alot about the earlier series and I find the paper tape very interesting. Thanks for producing this series.

I watched all 4 videos. That is really neat. I really enjoy looking into the history of computers, it's absolutely stunning to see how computers have come along through the years. Thanks for sharing! BTW-- the geek girl is a cutie.

@DouglasHarms I've never worked with a PDP11 but I can answer this question: It's the Eagles: One of These Nights.

This machine's at the low end. I used an Elliot 903 for a student project in the mid-70s, it was an obsolete minicomputer that was also driven from paper tape. The programming system was much more sophisticated, it included Fortran-2 and Algol compilers as well as the assembler. I think the more upscale PDP-11s like the PDP-11/34 were similar.

@SuperMegaSamuele007 The song is "Smoke On the Water" by Deep Purple.

It's true that showing someone enter a loader from toggle switches and then use paper tape isn't really fair to the pdp-11 in general; however, this was an 11/10, the bottom of the line model. And with disks and an operating system... why, it wouldn't have seemed so primitive (although still like DOS instead of Windows).

Great series! I just learned so much from this.

Haha, question:
Was there any LISPs for the PDP-11? I've heard that the PDP-10 is supposed to be the first "real" LISP machine so I'm just kinda curious :).

What the title of the song???

I'm not sure what the song title is; our students produced the video and selected a song from DePauw's collection of music that we purchased licenses for. I'll check with the student to see if he remembers. Sorry I can't be of more help.
