Rick Altherr

I offer no cost mentoring, mock interviews, and resume reviews at calendly.com/mxshift. If you've benefited from that in the past and want to show your appreciation, you can always buy me a coffee at ko-fi.com/mxshift.

@RueNahcMohr Send me a DM

@PaulStoffregen @mxshift heh... could I get a copy?

Today I'm sending a pile of old Xilinx stuff to Rick Altherr (@mxshift) for his living museum of early programmable logic. This photo is the oldest stuff, from my first FPGA adventures in 1989-1992.

@PaulStoffregen @RueNahcMohr Yep. 1.x of Foundation definitely supports XC4000. Not sure which version of X-ACT introduced support.

@mxshift @RueNahcMohr By that time they had abandoned copy protection dongles and they only required a registration key. You'll find the keys are written on the discs. :-)

@ChuckMcManis @RueNahcMohr @PaulStoffregen I have more than a few

@mxshift @RueNahcMohr @PaulStoffregen I know you have at least one board with XC4000’s 😁

@RueNahcMohr @PaulStoffregen I'll need to check what X-ACT version introduced XC4000 series support. I know v5 does.

@mxshift @PaulStoffregen Some of the chips I want to play with are X4004 X4005!

@_BehindTheCode @PaulStoffregen I'll be making an image of it and uploading to Internet Archive

@PaulStoffregen @mxshift Wow! XACT V2.12 😮 The oldest version I ever came across was a version 5.0 CD. That is really Wild! Would love to check out a copy of that if possible. Very cool stuff! 😎😄👌

@RueNahcMohr @PaulStoffregen So am I! I've been building a 386 (well, a RapidCAD) to use as an X-ACT workstation for XC3000 parts.

@PaulStoffregen @mxshift heh, I'm still trying to work out how to use these old ones. did that run under dos?

@jaycarmona 🔥😍

@ElleArmageddon I have both....

@ElleArmageddon *glances at rowing machine* Yeah. I gotta get back to that

@ChrisHanel @irljasmine @SupportClass Karateka Gorilla.bas

The brain trust at @SupportClass has been having a lot of fun with the break screen channels, but we wanna know: What other games/gags/homages would you like to see tracking the #AGDQ2023 donation total?

@HackingLZ Subvert?

What do you call a situation when you successfully get an implant to run and setup persistence without an EDR causing a block or alerting event that would have defenders respond? Bypass? Workaround? Circumvent?

@ElleArmageddon This thread is the only reason I come to Twitter now

@noopkat I've been doing this as well. Wednesday around 11am. Grocery store is much less busy as well.

@fpgahelper Lol. That was a trend that couldn't last.

@mxshift Did I miss this years LPC55 vulnerability?

Realizing I might be NXP's Krampus

Two different crossposters have stopped working for me after a while. I do all my posting on Mastodon nowadays. Guess this account will be very quiet.

@ElleArmageddon So cute!

DOScember is nearly over and none of my systems are bootable. Hoping to venture out on Tuesday to find the following: Dual P2 system * ATX case * ATX PSU RapidCAD system * Basically a complete 386 system except the CPU and coprocessor

UPS: drives right up to my front door, gets out, drops off packages and some branches they cleared from my driveway One of these has a union.

Amazon driver: calls to say they can't deliver because the hill is too icy to drive up and offers to let me pick up my package from him in a parking lot in town. I drive into town and the hill is merely damp.
