What do you plan to use the Heritage/1 for?I plan, indeed, to use the Heritage/1 minicomputer for doing tangible work. Actually that is an important design principle that I imposed to my self: usefulness. It is important because it sets the difference between a toy and a product... well, she is not exactly a "product", but the fantasy of been so pushes the design toward very interesting directions.
Working in Batch Processing, Heritage/1 could possibly resolve Math problems such as Interpolation, Linear Equations Systems, Fourier Transform and things like that... if I get to write the software correctly, of course...
Time-Sharing? Not necesssarily... I'm not aimed for the nowadays familiar interactive multi-user environments but chances are for that to happen in the deep future, why not? It's all about software. If I get to write the software (including the Operating System), Heritage/1 will be able to run it.
Could I? not sure... time will tell.
