Some information on rebuilding a PWP. It's also the same the drive as used on the Famicon system in Japan.

There's a more active Famicon hacking scene around... you might look into a famicon drive and fdsloader.

many great works of renown did they accomplish. Among them were Colossus, the codebreaker; ENIAC, the targeter; EDSAC and MULTIVAC and all manner of froody creatures ending in AC, the experimenters; and SAGE, the defender of the sky and father of all networks. These were the mighty giants of old, the first children of Turing, and their works are written in the Books of the Ancients. This was the First Age, the age of Lore.

Is it Godwinning the thread to point out that the nazies made the same mistake when designing the Enigma protocol?

Looks like it was called POTUS-PRIME, but I haven't yet found any more information than what's on that page.

Isn't this the kind of thing Free Software was supposed to be against?

No. You have confused trademark with copyright - and possibly with patent.

Anyone can distribute their own flavor of Linux and call it Linux without being threatened by lawsuits over trademarks?

No. You have confused trademark with copyright again.

According to your posting, Microsoft should be able to release an operating system and call it Linux. I am glad they are not allowed to do so under TRADEMARK law.

+5, Insightful? Moderators must be on crack again.

Free (as in speech) software is about being able to reuse others code through PRIOR licensing of copyrighted material. However, I can not make my own DISTRIBUTION based on the Linux kernel and call it RedHat, as that NAME is already trademarked. Nothing in the free software philosophy contradicts that, or says that I should be able to use the RedHat name.

Linux is a word that is used in a fairly generic way by many, but the laws require the trademark holder to defend the mark in business - or lose it to 'public domain' as a generic term. Once lost, people are free to use the word in any way they want - we could have linux soap, Windows applications, Linux air conditioners, soda pop, ANYTHING.

(that's a joke, I say, that's a joke son!)

Wish I had moderator points; you would get a -1, Overrated just for being so wrong.
