Article Summaries:

  • The Interim Computer Museum (ICM) and SDF.org have launched a free, browser‑based portal that lets users log into 28 vintage computer systems. By visiting connect.sdf.org and entering “menu,” visitors can select from a mix of emulated, hybrid, and original hardware, including landmark systems such as Multics on a Honeywell 6180, TOPS‑20 on a PDP‑10, a CDC 6500, and UNIX v7 on a PDP‑11/70 (“MissPiggy”). Each system drops users into a command‑prompt environment, offering a hands‑on look at historic operating systems, architectures, and games. The project is funded through SDF’s bootstrap membership, sponsorships, and donations.
