Spent most of the day researching and inspecting a 1972 reel to reel machine and I want today‘s electronics devices to be just as serviceable as they were back then. -
Tested various micros running this FLOATING POINT program.Tested various micros running this FLOATING POINT program. It derives Pi to 20 decimal places. Interesting stats.
1 N=20: L=INT(10*N/3): DIM A(255): Z$="000000":T$="999999"
2 FOR I=1 TO L: A(I)=2: NEXT I: M=0: P=0: FOR J=1 TO N: Q=0: K=2*L+1
3 FOR I=L TO 1 STEP -1: K=K-2: X=10*A(I)+Q*I: Q=INT(X/K): A(I)=X-Q*K: NEXT I
4 Y =INT(Q/10): A(1)=Q-10*Y: Q=Y: IF Q=9 THEN LET M=M+1: GOTO 7

In all fairness, Thunderbird runs like treacle, even on a modern well specced PC.
