    They are surprisingly durable. I have a tape I made in 1990, it's followed me across continents and been in cardboard boxes, basements and attics. It still plays flawlessly. Not wa…

    I wrote a token ring networking simulator with error simulation (token dropping etc) on a 6502. 128 bytes of RAM. It was a squeeze. I used a Hewlett Packard development system with…
