dread high bit disease


A condition endemic to href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=PRIME">PRIME (also known as "PR1ME") href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=minicomputers">minicomputers that results in all the characters having their high bit (0x80, see href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=meta bit">meta bit) ON rather than OFF. This complicates transporting files to other systems and talking to true 8-bit devices. Folklore had it that PRIME adopted the convention in order to save 25 cents per {serial line} per machine PRIME old-timers, on the other hand, claim they inherited the disease from href="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Honeywell">Honeywell via customer NASA' s compatibility requirements and struggled heroically to cure it. Whoever was responsible, this probably qualifies as one of the most cretinous design tradeoffs ever made. A few other machines have exhibited similar brain damage.
