The second board is memory (PROM), holding microcode for the I/O Processor, which is a (very strange) computer, independent of the CPU. Each gold-lidded chip holds 2K bits in tiny metal fuses. The chip is programmed by blowing the fuse for each 1 bit, literally burning the PROM.
First board is a network interface. Each side is identical and supports two networks. The IBM hybrid module (right) contains tiny transistors, resistors, etc. to handle the analog stuff. The golden Motorola chips format bits to transmit and receive them. The other chips are mostly shift registers.
After countless hours debugging, I'm very happy to announce A/UX 3.1.1 (and probably other versions) boots and seems mostly stable!
You can try it yourself in Snow bleeding edge right now! Note you _must_ set mouse emulation to 'relative' or you won't have a mouse and things will crash.
Please report any issues :)
Hey #tangara friends!
For my understanding: if I wanted a custom touch wheel face plate and would also use a PCB as "material", I should not use any copper on the layers to not interfere with the EM field? Or won't it matter?
Thanks!
[$] AURpocalypse now: a look at the recent AUR attacks https://lwn.net/Articles/1077619/ #tech #linux
2.51+ releases are rolling into stores: Video/Audio Calls and Channels are not experimental but part of the default feature set now 💫
Calls and channels are always end-to-end encrypted, and only you and your contacts know each other's identity and metadata (avatars, names, keys etc.)
For calls, Delta uses a minimal Rust WebRTC turn server https://github.com/chatmail/chatmail-turn#turn-server-for-chatmail-relays running on hundreds of relays worldwide. It helps to establish P2P media streams, or for relaying traffic if P2P connections fail.

I am selling #ThinkPad T480 in good condition, 300€, but I don't know how to ship it elsewhere except in Croatia and Poland via Vinted.
