I'm astonished that there doesn't seem to be a

hardware is the epitome of CISC, but it is one of the true classics).
There isn't quite enough information on the I/O system. A few people have gotten
as far as trying to get the main CPU to boot.
There are also emulators for some of the first and
second generation
machines (Manchester "Baby" for example, but, again regrettably, apparently
not the Ferranti Atlas)
Does any of the code survive for Atlas? I was in communication with the Cambridge
folks, and they were saddened to discover their only known copies of the software
for Titan were discarded.
