TRS-80 PC-1 - New manufacture replacement LCDs
by Mark Whittington 03 Jun '19

03 Jun '19

Pretty awesome -- a YouTuber that I follow (Robert Baruch) designed replacement LCD modules for the TRS-80 PC-1 (aka Sharp PC-1211 Pocket Computer) and had them manufactured. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8Vagc0FJK8 He's received the samples and they work great, and so he's ordering 200 more and will have them for sale sometime soon. Seemed like something that might be of interest to this crowd :) Best, -Mark

Assembler inside Cobol
by Jeffrey Jonas 01 Jun '19

01 Jun '19

The MOBIDIC COBOL status report section 4.3.5 mentions the ENTER declarative for inserting assembler code for the PERFORM verb to execute. That's similar to ASM in C/C++. Everything old is new again! My dad and other early mainframe programmers often knew the machine's architecture and assembler to do things that were not part of the standard COBOL language, libraries or environment. They didn't call them "hacks", it was just part of getting their job done.
