In a haze of jet lag, I woke up with a burning desire to get hands on with my PDP-11/44. It’s been sitting on a back burner for an intense amount of time, but even still, it hasn’t been a high priority item. But, sometimes, you can’t help wanting to work on certain things, so in this episode, I give in and have a bit of fun tooling around with the PDP-11/44!
