[LMH] hello, anyone there?

[Brad Parker]

If anyone has images of disks, I'd love a copy. I'll put them up on 
http://www.unlambda.com

Several years ago three of us put  a lot of effort into getting two 
different explorer emulators
working.  As I recall, we managed to get them both booting to a prompt.  
I think one did
networking also.

The other two folks are
    Daniel Seagraves <dseagrav at lunar-tokyo.net>
    Alastair Bridgewater <nyef at lisphacker.com>

I was mostly just there for comic relief.  Both Dan and Alastair did  a  
ton of work discovering
the ins and outs of the TI hardware.   I think their are pointers on 
unlambda to the final code.

In the end I think we ended up going furtherest with Meroko, as it had 
better i/o support.

I'd love to find an explorer some day.  Or the CAD tapes to the chip 
itself :-)

I thought I'd try to write an emulator for them so I could start hacking the machines again. It looks like some of you were working on such a beast in the past.
