There are lots of bits in a "monitor" that can be swapped, depending on
how narrowly you define "monitor." You might have code to roll over the
system date every x clock-ticks. It's only needed once a day. You have
error recovery for non-systems-residence devices, etc.

Greetings, C= and Ami aficionados,

The third meeting of the Commodore/Amiga Network (CAN) will be held on
Sunday, February 10, at 2 p.m. in Castaic (northern Los Angeles area),
California. For the exact address, send an e-mail to me at
rbernardo(at)iglou.com

Anybody with an interest in Commodore and Amiga is invited to join us
at the meeting.

The Jan. 19 CAN meeting was a success with 11 attendees -- 3 or 4
programmers, several into BBSes, one Video Toaster expert, and several
general C=/Amiga enthusiasts. We were treated to stereo SID music on
Fotios' StereoSID board clone on a C128 and observed a high-powered
A500 set-up. Expertsetup brought his modded C64 DTVs for everyone to
see and take photographs. At the end, I played some of the Impact of
the Commodore 64 videos I had filmed. Though the meeting was to last
only a couple of hours, many stayed overtime, several went out to late
dinner, and I didn't leave until 12:30 a.m..

Truly,
Robert Bernardo
speaking for CAN

as per past discussions re the architecture "red book" (i.e. cms script
file where command line option would print the full machine architecture
or just the POO subset, full machine architecture was distributed in red
3ring binders) and compare&swap instruction
http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#smp

getting an instruction added could require a lot of justification.

so one way of parsing of the reference to 50+ added instructions to
improve compiled code efficiency ... could be referring to over 50 of
the added instructions were justified for improving compiled code
efficiency (w/o saying anything at all about the total number of added
instructions and/or what was the justification for any of the other
added instructions).

it now has been over 40yrs since i started work on virtualization
technology.

different strengths of virtualization are being used for addressing a
broad range of issues in the IT industry ... from server farm
efficiencies to client security.

We have about run out of officers who served in Vietnam: look
at their ribbons and see if you see one in the lower right area
which is green and white with a silver ribbon (reads 1960- );
without that, the now senior brass doesn't have direct knowledge
of the Vietnam guerilla experience. Senior generals now were
senior staff officers during Desert Storm, and expect to have
their name put on another Guderian/Schwartzkopf Blitzkreig.
However, they are fighting the sort of fight which the French
lost in Algeria, the British lost in Malaysia, the Dutch in
Indonesia, and the United States lost in South Vietnam.

a lot of capacity planning came out of a lot of performance work at the
science center

... including modeling and workload profiling and the fundamentals for
capacity planning.

science center had done the port of apl\360 for cms\apl ... and rather
than the toy 16-32kbyte workspaces ... they could be as large as virtual
memory/machine size.

cms\apl became the basis for much of the sales/marketing support
applications on the world-wide hone system (sometime in the early 70s,
branch office couldn't even submit mainframe orders that hadn't first
been processed by hone application)
