@lorry@infosec.exchange @cstross@wandering.shop I’ve got a simulated KS10 running DECwar… in a Raspberry pi. Which is also running a couple of VAXen and maybe an IBM mainframe or two…

@jguillaumes @lorry @cstross speaking of Moore’s Law… a few years ago I had a similar question and wondered if a Raspberry Pi (3? 4? I forget) had outpaced my 20y-old beast of a Dell Precision M65 workstation laptop that i keep in a drawer for nostalgia reasons. Turns out, no! The old Core (2?) Duo still beat out the RasPi in single-threaded, and even I/O (I may had retrofitted it with an SSD?) Perhaps i still have the numbers somewhere, and I should repeat the benchmark with a RasPi5

@jguillaumes @lorry @cstross What about the DECtape drives?
