Linus Torvalds 1986 Sinclair QL software GMOVE (pre Linux) - video 1 of 2
On Dec 28th 2009 Linus celebrated his 40th birthday. Congratulations. This video is my birthday present.
Way back in the 80s Linus Torvalds made his first conceptional and system programming experiences on the Sinclair QL with its preemptive multitasking operating system QDOS.
In 1986 Linus wrote a software blitter "GMOVE" as an extension to the SuperBASIC language of the QL. It was published as a printed listing in the Finnish computer magazine BITTI in November 1986.
This vid shows how GMOVE performs on an unmodified standard QL system (68008 CPU @7.5Mhz, 128KB RAM).
Linus explored the QL deeply before he decided to buy a 80386 CPU based PC. Read a NewsGroup message thread on the QL dated 1992 with contributions of Linus:
