<p>Thanks to Twitter/X, I got my hands on a <a href="https://terminals-wiki.org/wiki/index.php/DEC_VT510">DEC VT510</a> terminal in superb condition but without a keyboard. To achieve a 100% Digital Equipment Corporation look, I bought a DEC PC keyboard, since the VT510 accepts any keyboard with a mini-DIN connector. Since FUZIX is in the lineage of 1970s UNIXes, it would make sense to display the FUZIX virtual terminal using a physical terminal. The VT510 offers two serial connectors, male and…

<p>A functional FUZIX system fits into the PICO’s FLASH memory. However, the port provides for the use of a file system on an SD card from the start. FUZIX can only manage 32MB partitions, but that’s a huge amount of disk space for such a frugal system.</p>

<p>The idea behind <a href="https://www.fuzix.org/">FUZIX</a> is to recreate an <em>old-school</em> UNIX that can run on 8-bit (Z80, 6502, 6809) or 16-bit (68000) architectures and provide them with a complete operating system: process management, files, input/output, etc. It is also a way to go back to the origins of UNIX with a frugality and efficiency required by the low power of the target hardware platforms.</p>
