    Why is the domain `pdp1173.com` when the machine is a PDP 11/83 ?

      There's a couple eyebrow raising things about this post.. like the fact that there's nothing but vague details in text and one photo with an AI prompt like alt-text. I think they're just trying to get clicks for that banner ad.

        While probably it&#x27;s legit because I&#x27;ve seen Dave discussing the process on the YT channel (which I no longer watch) he unfortunately does have form <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=39813625">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=39813625

        Having TMOG on a .org when it sells commercial licences doesn&#x27;t sit well with me given the history.

          I&#x27;m a little confused by your comment.. especially considering the fact that you edited it and changed the link from and old comment thread from 2024 to whatever this dead post is from 2012. What does having form mean? Who is Dave?

            Sorry, lost the last digit, fixed now. This restored PDP-11&#x2F;83 project is Dave Plummer&#x27;s
