Mike Riversdale<p>"Libertarianism is making inroads into New Zealand through multiple avenues. One of the most powerful tools we have to resist this corrosive ideology is the ability to recognise its language and thinking. Only then can we challenge it directly, rather than being drawn into debates on its terms—where its assumptions, objectives, and consequences remain unexamined."</p><p><a href="https://open.substack.com/pub/melanienelson/p/decoding-seymours-presentation-on" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">open.substack.com/pub/melanien</span><span class="invisible">elson/p/decoding-seymours-presentation-on</span></a></p><p><a href="https://cloudisland.nz/tags/NZpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NZpol</span></a> <a href="https://cloudisland.nz/tags/LongRead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongRead</span></a></p>

The Last Psion | Alex<p>Someone asked me some questions on the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Psion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Psion</span></a> Series 3, so I thought I'd post my response here in case anyone else is interested. <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/LongRead" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongRead</span></a> </p><p><strong>Emulator</strong></p><p>You've got two options. The first is the original "emulators" written by Psion, <code>S3AEMUL.EXE</code> and <code>S3CEMUL.EXE</code>. They both run in DOS and emulate the 3a and 3c. But they're less of an emulator than a runtime environment for <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/EPOC16" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EPOC16</span></a> (the OS). There's good and bad to this. You can run <code>S3AEMUL</code> and <code>S3CEMUL</code> straight in <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/DOSBox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DOSBox</span></a> and it will talk to your host OS's filesystem (Windows, Linux, macOS, whatever). You need to map an M: drive in DOSBox for the internal storage, but once that's done you can copy files straight into that folder on your host OS. The downside is that it's not true hardware emulation. You won't get a good judge of the speed of a real device, and some syscalls aren't implements so will fail or crash the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/emulator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>emulator</span></a>. They're bundled with the SDK (see below).</p><p>The alternative is <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/MAME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MAME</span></a>. This is the closest to proper hardware emulation you're going to find. You can either dump your own ROMs using a tool called <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/EDisAsm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EDisAsm</span></a>, or you can find them in the usual MAME ROM repos. The one thing that is notably missing is RS232 emulation from the later models, because we haven't been able to find any documentation on the silicon, but it's working fine with the 3a.</p><p><strong>Toolchain</strong></p><p>At the moment you have only one option - the Psion SIBO C SDK with the <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/TopSpeed" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TopSpeed</span></a> C Compiler. You're going to need DOSBox (I personally prefer DOSBox Staging). It's all available on the Internet Archive in one easy download, including all the documentation you will need.</p><p><a href="https://archive.org/details/psion-sibo-c-sdk" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">archive.org/details/psion-sibo</span><span class="invisible">-c-sdk</span></a></p><p>From there, you have a few libraries you can use. There CLIB, which is a pure ANSI C implementation, designed to easily port apps - don't use it, it's slow and you'll be missing a lot of features. Then there's PLIB, which is Psion's C dialect - very nice to use, and you can put together a C app pretty quickly. Finally, there's OLIB, which is Psion's proprietary OO C - it feels very clunky, but once you get over that it can be very powerful.</p><p>EPOC16 apps are restricted to a very pure version of the small memory model, but you can split code up into libraries known as DYLs.</p><p>In the past I've written code using VS Code, which can be made to play nicely with the SDK's header files. I've not got it working with NeoVim and clangd yet, but it should be possible with cmake.</p><p>The SDK comes with a debugger (<code>SDBG.EXE</code>), a DOS GUI app. If you run <code>SDBG.EXE</code> in DOSBox Staging, run the <code>Psion3a</code> MAME emulation, and enable RS232 over TCP on both, you can use <code>SDBG</code> to send apps to MAME. If you enable symbols, you can step through the code. It's rudimentary by modern standards, but it works pretty well.</p><p>I say "at the moment" because I'm slowly rewriting the tools in the SDK. I already have a new working version of <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/CTRAN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CTRAN</span></a>, the preprocessor for Psion OO C, but I'm a long way from a compiler. There have been efforts to coax gcc into compiling for SIBO/EPOC16, but I think they have stalled for now.</p><p>If you want some examples of EPOC16 C and OO C code, take a look at these:<br><a href="https://github.com/thelastpsion/edisasm" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/thelastpsion/edisas</span><span class="invisible">m</span></a><br><a href="https://github.com/thelastpsion/pyramid" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/thelastpsion/pyrami</span><span class="invisible">d</span></a><br><a href="https://github.com/thelastpsion/nfsc" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">github.com/thelastpsion/nfsc</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://github.com/nickmat/Psion3-Wari" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">github.com/nickmat/Psion3-Wari</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://github.com/nickmat/Psion3-Vector" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/nickmat/Psion3-Vect</span><span class="invisible">or</span></a></p><p><strong>Device</strong></p><p>The 3mx is the best choice. It's significantly faster than the earlier models (27.6 MHz vs 7.6 MHz), has a switchable backlight, the fastest RS232 and the best version of EPOC16. I "daily drive" one for journalling, adventure games, and a few other small tasks. After that I'd say the 3c (beware - they were covered in soft-touch rubber, so will need cleaning) and the 2MB 3a. The latter is the most common. Most 3c units came with a backlight, except for the early UK ones. The 3a doesn't. Arguably the non-backlit screens have better contrast so you don't need the backlight so much in lower light, but the backlight has obvious benefits.</p><p><a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/RetroDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RetroDev</span></a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/16bit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>16bit</span></a></p>

Since there were many different techniques involved, it's natural not everything resonated with everyone. That's fine! Though, my hope always is that readers take an interest in a wide range of topics, and so many of these new examples were purposefully multi-faceted and hopefully provided insights for at least some parts, plus (in)directly communicated a core essence of the larger project:</p><p>Only individual packages (or small clusters) are designed &amp; optimized for a set of particular use cases. At large, though, thi.ng explicitly does NOT offer any such guidance or even opinion. All I can offer are possibilities, nudges and cross-references, how these constructs &amp; techniques can be (and have been) useful and/or the theory underpinning them. For some topics, thi.ng libs provide multiple approaches to achieve certain goals. This again is by design (not lack of it!) and stems from hard-learned experience, showing that many (esp. larger) projects highly benefit from more nuanced (sometimes conflicting approaches) compared to popular defacto "catch-all" framework solutions. To avid users (incl. myself) this approach has become a somewhat unique offering and advantage, yet in itself seems to be the hardest and most confusing aspect of the entire project to communicate to newcomers.</p><p>So seeing this list of new projects together, to me really is a celebration (and confirmation/testament) of the overall <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/BottomUpDesign" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BottomUpDesign</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/ThingUmbrella" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThingUmbrella</span></a> approach (which I've been building on since ~2006): From the wide spectrum/flexibility of use cases, the expressiveness, concision, the data-first approach, the undogmatic mix of complementary paradigms, the separation of concerns, no hidden magic state, only minimal build tooling requirements (a bundler is optional, but recommended for tree shaking, no more) — these are all aspects I think are key to building better (incl. more maintainable &amp; reason-able) software. IMO they are worth embracing &amp; exposing more people to and this is what I've partially attempted to do with this series of posts...</p><p>ICYMI here's a summary of the 10 most recent posts (full list in the <a href="https://thi.ng/umbrella" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">thi.ng/umbrella</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> readme).
