Ahh, Fortran! Now there is a language I could relate to, unlike Cobol gibberish. PL1 was kinda like a merging of those. G-code is still used, but I don't know how the old compares to the current.

i think he missed a period (full stop) out!
I once had the dubious pleasure of repairing a computer that used CP/M, which was the forerunner to and even more primitive than DOS. What i did like was LEDs on all the boards; what i disliked was getting it to do anything useful!

I have an original PC with the 2 floppy. 5150 if I remember correctly. Even have the green monitor. Got a 20mb hard card but the drive on it died years ago. Had the 5mb hard drive that was the size of a briefcase and retailed for $2k. Sold it to a collector. The one I wish I still had is the Altair I built in '78. Gave it to a friend eons ago along with my Cosmic Elf I built.
CP/M supported the 8080 processor and the Z80 to a certain extent. The Z80 was backwards compatible with the 8080 instruction set but also had extended instructions that CP/M didn't support so I didn't dwell on it very long when the Z80 came out.
Isn't twisted 30g say, faster to make than a Clapton for the same resistance?

Thanks Kiwi. I use MM or triple-twist 32-ga on my devices, which are all VV/VW and tank systems.
Guess I have slipped into a rut since I haven't even tried a clapton. The only coil variations I've been doing are the hybrid Nickel/Kanthal MM variations. Been ridiculously busy with work and any spare time has been devoted to my 3D printer. Have wondered though for a long time (before DNA40 and clapton) about Ernie Ball Nickel wound guitar strings and removing and or replacing the center stainless wire, just been too busy to go to the music store and get some to play with. (Pun intended)
Dang, guess I really am in a rut! This has been available for at least 8 days and I just stumbled across it.........
Will keep you informed.

Ribbon sounds interesting.
Edit: Any thing on equivalent resistances to round Ni200 would be valued.

Interesting that ni200 ribbon has magnetic properties ... hum... will TP work right?
Don't see why not, just stuck a magnet to a spool of regular round NI200 and it stuck.
It should have a smidge more resistance than 30 gauge NI200 going by cross sectional area.
So extrapolating from experience MM made from it should land approximately 0.3 ohm per foot. (at room temp)
When I get it and make some I will find out how good my clairvoyance is.
temperature controlled mundy magic and tiger wires huh?
alright. might have to use this temp control thing again

I just notice that you and I quit analogs on the exact same day
Got Hybrid MM's running on temp control on a GDibi and a GDNA, but find myself using my non regulated Dibi and Peko's with regular MM most of the time. Being squonkers, I rarely get a dry hit anyway since I reflex squonk every time anyway.
I floundered with a cigalike for about a month prior but just couldn't completely quit on it. But 739 days ago I got Evic, Protank, and eliquid vapemail. That did the trick and led me
