We will open source soon.

You can block today, Kitesurf doesn't try to hide.

It is! But it works. Native eval support will come to Workers at some point, though. We will reevaluate Kitesurf's architecture when that happens. Shouldn't be hard to migrate, we have all the logic in place now.

As we explained in the blog, tests — and WPT tests specifically — were extremely important to get Kitesurf off the ground so fast, and still are as we move to higher API coverage.

We have been keeping a close eye on BiDi as well.

Absolutely. I have lots of fun restoring old machines; it's one of my favourite hobbies. Not only do I get a nostalgia kick from remembering systems from my younger years, but I also learn a great deal about how they worked internally and about electronics. Once they're fixed, I lose interest and move to the next project.

Good point. I should know this.

Barely.

Portugal has no electricity as we speak. Funny enough telcos and 4G/5G are fine for now, I'm guessing batteries and diesel backups kicked in and are doing their job.
yeah you're both right, WCS is on the main board in PAL machines, but not the Kickstart ROMs. I got confused because when I finally fixed the issues with the CPU socket I already had the Parceiro plugged in and it injects Kickstart on boot from the SD card. I'll edit the blog.

I was surprised that the capacitors and the motherboard in general on my A1000 looked so good ~35 years later. Either way, yes, replace them.

Funny enough, a few years later Commodore offered a port of Unix System V that ran on the Amiga 3000, I actually played with it in my University.

Re:Running CP/M on the C128 on Tuesday March 05, 2024 @08:34AM (#39603168)
Well, kind of.

The Z80 and the 6502 (well, 8502 actually) CPUs share the same bus, and so there can only be one CPU running at one point in time. However afaik in CP/M and Z80 mode there are some I/O functions for the keyboard etc that halt the Z80, switch to the 8502, do what they do, and then switch back.

I'm not sure if you can somehow programmatically switch from the Z80 to the 8502 and back, though. I suspect not.
