AGRO TURBO SATAN 🇺🇦🇨🇿👃💨<p>The heroes of our story dealt with it admirably: the <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/UNIX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UNIX</span></a> port uses logical blocks of 512 words mapped to five physical blocks. This results in 1680 bytes of physical storage providing 1536 useful bytes and 144 bytes of waste. *NAND flash aficionados cheer wildly.* That is the cost of keeping the UNIX filesystem structures nicely aligned.

AGRO TURBO SATAN 🇺🇦🇨🇿👃💨<p>The port was done by Bill Shannon, the C compiler was ported by Sam Leffler. Both absolute legends in <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/UNIX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UNIX</span></a> and <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/BSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BSD</span></a> world. Hail them!</p><p>And off to a good start we are: /6 is a 24-bit machine. 24-bit, as in: Most registers are 24-bit and most instructions address memory in 24-bit chunks. The program counter is 15-bit, and two general purpose registers can be glued together to into a 47-bit register. One bit falls off, do not ask me. Small program counter means the programs are limited to 32K words. Jump instructions use 16-bit addresses, with the extra bit biasing code and data accesses alike. It's like two computers in one!

Please welcome:</p><p><a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/Harris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Harris</span></a> SLASH 6. A wonderful mix of archaic and modern features. Here are my observations, you sickos:</p><p>The earliest port of <a href="https://metalhead.club/tags/UNIX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UNIX</span></a> is probably that of Sixth Edition to Interdata/7, which involved port of the Ritchie compiler -- on paper. Mind you, this predates the Portable C Compiler which debuted in Seventh Edition. Seventh Edition subsequently made its way to Interdata/8 and VAX-11. With the VAX port, UNIX and C compiler were extended for a 32-bit machine in a mostly straightforward way. What followed was a port to SLASH 6 (/6), which looks like an absolute opposite of a straightforward port. (1/6)</p>
