NetBSD Desktop User and developer (mef) for pkgsrc. Zsh, Perl, pLaTeX, Emacs/ t-code/KINESIS. Enjoying Ham Radio as JA1XMS, in contest. Native lang is Japanese
I've installed NetBSD/amd64 10.99.5, then pkgin installed

and then issue platex. Looking at log, it first says
This is e-upTeX, Version 3.141592653-p4.1.0-u1.29-230214-2.6 (utf8.euc) (TeX Live 2023/pkgsrc) (INITEX)
and then
and then later (or order may be different) says,
This is e-pTeX, Version 3.141592653-p4.1.0-230214-2.6 (utf8.euc) (TeX Live 2023/pkgsrc) (preloaded format=platex)
If I use platex-dev instead of platex, it works fine.

The Intel 8086 processor (1978) started the x86 architecture still used today. This chip only had 40 pins, so the address pins needed to be reused for data or status. (The pins are connected to the pads around the edge.) It took some tricky circuitry to make this work. 🧵
Motorola MC68332 mask J30C (1999)
The MC68332 is an advanced 68k microcontroller with a 32-bit CPU32 core (bottom center). It also integrate a 16-channel timer controlled by an independent time processor unit with 2k SRAM (top half), and a queued serial module (bottom left).
Hitachi HD6435368 (1994)
The H8/536 is a 16-bit single chip CMOS microcontroller with 2kB RAM, 62kB mask ROM, UART, 10-bit ADC and 3 channel PWM. The H8 family was very popular and used in many consumer electronic products, notably CD-ROM drives and VCRs.
