MUSIC was the 1st mainframe Operating System I got in touch with. I was in high school, and tried to learn to program in FORTRAN. There is a local University, the Chinese University of Hong Kong, which ran an IBM mainframe, something like a 4341 and MUSIC on it.
I was a music admin in the late 80's and early 90's. I got to know Dave, Roy, Kevin and a few others. They were all very sharp cookies. Anyway, I talked with them all over the years. These demos are great, and i love what you are doing with it. The one drawback is when you ran music/sp on a mainframe back then, McGill/IBM gave the ENTIRE source. Dave tried to get IBM to release the source, but to my knowledge they never let him. What i would do for one of our backup tapes (i asked and tried at the college i worked for, but they are long gone). But, imagine, you could run music AND change the OS? I had made several changes over my years with it when i worked on it. Talk about a fire hydrant of assembly programming to learn from by example!
That's fantastic! I was sad that I found so little about Dave in my searches. That you were a colleague of his, and found my little UA-cam channel is quite amazing. It is very satisfying for me to be able to introduce both MUSIC/SP and Dave's contribution, Sim390 to whole new group of interested people. If you know anyone in his family, please send my heartfelt regards. One of the reasons I like to explore the emulated mainframe environment is that there are so many brilliant yet unrecognize people who have produced 'labors of love' so to speak. And that's how I see both Sim390 and Hercules. Please don't be a stranger here. You definitely come to this with some very unique and important insights. BTW, I see that ASSIST looks like it's in the demo system. I'm no Assembler programmer but the legacy shows up loud and clear!
I've had a Raspberry Pi running NOS 2.8.7 on an emulated CDC 170-875 for a couple of years. It is DtCyber and it accessed on a webpage on my local network. It was the computer and OS that I used in college in the 1980's.
Thank you for starting this channel. Is there any chance that you could export your videos at 1080P? Or zoom in on text so that it's easier to view on mobile? Preferably both! Also I can see what you are trying to do with the background printing noise, but it's a little annoying and doesn't add a lot. Sorry for being picky! Love to see what you can run on an (emulated) mainframe.
You're not being picky! I appreciate your feedback and agree, the background noise isn't my best idea. So out it goes in my upcoming videos. And yes, at least for MUSIC/SP the built-in 3270 is too small! But I wanted to show that cool feature of Sim390. So all future vids will be using a much larger terminal screen with big fonts. Thanks!

@@kenfugate6601 I had Hercules running MVS 3.8j on a Pi Zero and it's did pretty well
I downloaded the zip file and followed along. Everything worked just the way you said it would. I'm looking forward to the next video!
That's awesome! I had some problems getting the link to work but fixed that. And that it worked as intended is always a relief 🙂
Excellent video and work! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for your efforts, I appreciate it so much!
You're quite welcome!

@@ErnieTechsLittleMainframes it might be worth playing with a few effects eg fade out / in for the beginning / end. Audio can get quite tricky!
Hi, I cant find any google drive link, just youtube link.
The Google link seems to not work right. Go to the Github repository on my main page or try here github.com/ErnieTech101/MUSICSP-tk

@@ErnieTechsLittleMainframes thanks, for Linux Is there an equivalent? Sorry for my English 😁
I fixed the link! Had to wait for Google to approve working links in description. Its
