  • Discovering Eastern European Pcs by Hacking Them. Today
    Discovering Eastern European PCs by hacking them. Today Stefano Bodrato, Fabrizio Caruso, Giovanni A. Cignoni Progetto HMR, Pisa, Italy {stefano.bodrato, fabrizio.caruso, giovanni.cignoni}@progettohmr.it Abstract. Computer science would not be the same without personal comput- ers. In the West the so called PC revolution started in the late ’70s and has its roots in hobbyists and do-it-yourself clubs. In the following years the diffusion of home and personal computers has made the discipline closer to many people. A bit later, to a lesser extent, yet in a similar way, the revolution took place also in East European countries. Today, the scenario of personal computing has completely changed, however the computers of the ’80s are still objects of fas- cination for a number of retrocomputing fans who enjoy using, programming and hacking the old “8-bits”. The paper highlights the continuity between yesterday’s hobbyists and today’s retrocomputing enthusiasts, particularly focusing on East European PCs. Be- sides the preservation of old hardware and software, the community is engaged in the development of emulators and cross compilers. Such tools can be used for historical investigation, for example to trace the origins of the BASIC inter- preters loaded in the ROMs of East European PCs. Keywords: 8-bit computers, emulators, software development tools, retrocom- puting communities, hacking. 1 Introduction The diffusion of home and personal computers has made information technology and computer science closer to many people. Actually, it changed the computer industry orienting it towards the consumer market. Today, personal computing is perceived as a set of devices – from smartphones to videogame consoles – made just to be used.

DESCRIPTORS *Computer Assisted Instruction; Computer Networks; Computer Software Selection; Computer System Design; *Curriculum Development; Educational Needs; Foreign Countries; *Instructional Design; *Interdisciplinary Approach; Microcomputers; Secondary Education; *Urban Education IDENTIFIERS British National Curriculum; *United Kingdom ABSTRACT The program for City Technical Colleges (CTCs) draws on ideas and resources from government, private industry, and education to focus on the educational needs of inner city and urban children. Mathematics, science, and technology are at the center of the CTCs' mission, in a context which includes economic awareness and a commitment to enterprise and wealth creation. This discussion addresses the question of computer provision in the context of the need for children to learn skills in the technologies now central to their existence, and their need for sufficient access to relevant equipment through their learning experiences at school if they are to develop such skills. This paper presents a rationale for providing information technology (IT); a discussion of how subject areas in the National Curriculum, ranging from science to dance, can be enhanced by its use; suggestions for staffing and administering IT programs; and a discussion of issues concerned with system purchase, support, and maintenance.
