Dusty Decks, bitsavers.org, and the CHAC

A pointer from LtU led me to Paul McJones' excellent "Dusty Decks" weblog, about computer history. He also has a pointer to bitsavers.org, which has a bunch of "... scanned copies of manuals [and] software in source and/or executable form for a variety of machines."

My own (only?) contribution in that direction is an article I wrote for the Computer History Association of California several years ago, about the Sigma 7 at UCLA that was the ARPAnet's Host #1. I recently discovered that the article is online now. Check it out, page 21 of Volume 2, Number 2 of the "Analytical Engine". Other keywords: GORDO, The Sigma EXecutive OS, Jon Postel, Vint Cerf, IMP.
