![]() ![]() I want to look at some of the programming that was written to create the games or other lessons I see on Cyber1. The report will go via email to all members of system staff.

What do I do if I run into a problem using Cyber1 or Pterm? ![]() You can either pass command line arguments such as "pterm 104.184.158.172", or you can use the Preferences page in Pterm to change the connection from "" to the static IP address 104.184.158.172. You can connect by using the static IP address (104.184.158.172) of "". Occasionally we too have seen DNS errors. My DNS service is broken and I cannot connect to Cyber1. BZ2 files) all have a published SHA1 and PGP signature you can use to verify that they are the files we posted. To take this a step further, our mainstream binary files (that is the Windows. is 100% SSL secured to be sure that the information delivered over the web connection is safe and eliminates 'man in the middle' eavesdropping or even impersonation of our site. Also, anyone who has a working terminal they might like to donate some preservation society such as the LCM are encouraged to do so.Īre the Pterm binary and executable files safe to download? How can I be sure I am getting the authentic file? This might take some serious effort and time, and you will be the one doing all the research and spending all the time! But it can be done. Anyone who has a working PLATO terminal is invited to contact us for information on how to get your terminal connected to Cyber1. Some additional terminals were donatd by Aaron Woolfson to the Living Computer Museum in Seattle, where they do have a PPT on display for public access. A demonstration "classroom" was setup at the Computer History Museum for the conference held in 2010 (please see the links at the top of the page for photos). Due primarily to the efforts of one of our users - Aaron Woolfson - and drawing on the technical and social resources of the PLATO community, a small number of original PLATO terminals have been restored to working order and can connect to Cyber1 still today. I have a real PLATO terminal (Maggie, Plato V, IST-I / II / III), and it powers up. Note that port 8005 achieves faster perceived output For the most feature-richĮxperience connect on ASCII port 8005, for "classic" protocol connect on port 5004. Think of Pterm up to version 5.0.9 as a hybrid color PPT, and versions 6.0 and newer as a hybrid color IST-III. There were manyĮxperimental terminals for early development of color displays and other hardware platforms. These are not the only terminals that were used to access PLATO, but they are the most common of the original equipment. Using a faster Z80 processor with bank switchable RAM for larger resident programs, a green phosphor CRT, and separate keyboard, this was designed for both PLATO and other tasks. These terminals were designed as a single unit with integrated keyboard and used a Z80 and a RAM resident (downloaded from mainframe or loaded from flexible disk system). Using an 8080 processor it closely mimicked the PPT but used a CRT. Designed by CDC, there are three major subtypes. It featured natural wood sidings for display case and its separate keyboard. ![]() This terminal the pinnacle of original PLATO terminal design. This is an "intelligent" plasma terminal by Carroll which used a ROM "resident" for I/O featuring an 8080 processor. This is a "dumb" terminal by Magnavox which had the classic orange gas plasma display, a separate cabled keyboard, and usedĭedicated circuitry to provide the basic input and output for PLATO operations. The original PLATO terminals were of several types: ![]()
