While on the subject of Atlas and referencing another
thread on this list it
would be a /real/ challenge to implement on an FPGA -
Not for the lack of circuit diagrams (I understand several copies still
exist)
Not for the use of "wired-or" (don't know if Atlas used this logic
technique, but several later Ferranti machines did)
But because it used asynchronous logic which is contrary to the design
philosophy of FPGAs (and almost all other modern logic for that matter)
You can model than in synchronous logic as well. I'm very sure.
More important question: Is there anyone out there having the computer to hook
up the simulated tape system?!?
:-)
