Hi,
I'm abusing the work of Angelo for propaganda purposes, but...
We hope to show his pretty amazing PDP-6 replica at the Vintage Computer Festival in Zurich next month. Amazing, because of course only 27 of these machines were made, and none of them has been in working condition since forever. Angelo made a very interesting emulator, taking the approach of translating the schematics' electronic signals into C code. You can see his code, as demo'd at VCF Berlin recently, here.
As software for the machine is pretty non-existent (leads to anything appreciated though), he wrote his own assembler, linker and Forth. Which all run...
But -- Angelo recently made a beautiful hardware front panel replica, and if time allows that will be hooked up, running its Blinkenlights on November 19-20 at our VCF for the first time. So, err, to use that as a teaser:
Kind regards,
Oscar.
