KA10: Foonly F2

There's a rumor going around that the KA/KI/KL simulator may add the Foonly F2 some time in a distant future. Potential operating systems include WAITS and FOONEX.

I'd like to open this issue to submit pointers to information.

The Saildart archive has a file called MPLAN.TXT[TXT,JAM] which describes a plan for porting WAITS to CCMRA's Foonly F2. I haven't read it all yet, but I can add in details here later.

  • A Grinnell framebuffer system replaced the Data Disc.

No NXM reporting is  or ever will be done. To determine memory existence,
do SETZM. If data reads back zero, memory is there. If memory is not
there, Poole guarantees at least one bit coming back one (most of them
come back as ones).
Tymnet interface simulates TYMbase, with pointers etc. However,
doesn't write or check key cell.
