OCC 2026 Plan: CAN Bus and DOS?
Tuesday, Jul 7, 2026
The Old Computer Challenge started last Sunday. Have been real busy so all I’ve done so far is brainstorming ideas and research. If I had infinite time, I’d consider OpenVMS + CAN bus silliness. CAN bus, a.k.a. controller area network, is used to interconnect bits and pieces of car electronics. (Imagine plugging OpenVMS into your car for diagnostics!) Buuuut, OpenVMS has been hamstrung by HP corporate overlords’ action against the HP hobbyist community.
