Wikipedia has some rather odd ideas sometimes. Is there any source for actual Whirlwind Code? It might give more information about how people actually used it.  Sent from my Galaxy Tab® A Original message From: Paul Koning Date: 9/6/17 8:19 AM

Reading the Wikipedia page about Whirlwind, it mentions that the pdp1 is a direct descendent, so would a pdp1 assembler work? Or a tx0 Assembler? I don't know if these already exist or not. Is the pdp1 a transistorized Whirlwind as the Wikipedia article suggests? We already have an emulator for

This aligns with my thinking. There may be some variation from simulator to simulator. Most are fairly conservative in what they do, system calls will mostly be in the area of intersection between Windows and POSIX. Some may just run, some more may run with a recompile, more with minor

[Simh] Intel 8008 simulator in SIMH

2017-09-06 Thread Hans-Åke Lund
Hi, I have just made a simulator for Intel 8008 in SIMH. This is a "just for fun" project that started when I found our old master thesis report from 1976 describing how we developed a computer using the Intel 8008 CPU. I started to develop some code for 8008 based on the ALTAIR code. Later I

The term for what he's after is a meta-assembler. I was looking at these about 40 years ago! Not much around these days, but look at: http://metasm.cr0.org/ On Tue, 5 Sep 2017 20:54:14 -0400 Bob Supnik wrote: > Guy is looking to build a Whirlwind simulator, eventually. > >
