Hi John,
you are certainly welcome to it - after all its only
bits and not a single
atom,
so it can be copied easily. However, there is no documentation apart from
source code comments - it's a (hopefully) portable C program plus some
ASCII data files, so it should run on anything that has a C-compiler.
Lets see :)
Since your address makes me believe that you are
affiliated with Siemens
Munich,
and since I live in Munich too, maybe we just get together and discuss this ?
Jep, fixed for shure.
The simulator maps core and drum to RAM arrays,
papertape input and output
to File I/O, and the console to keyboard/screen.
I cant wait to see the source code :)
It would be neat to interface to
a real S2002 console - there are at least two in Munich, one at the Siemens
museum and one at the Deutsche Museum; maybe that would be a fun project
to try one of these to agree to that proposal ?????
Maybe, althrough I think, at least at the Deutsches Museum, they
don't treat their computers as they should - my favourated project
would be to get the Deutsches Museum 2002 back to work, eventualy
with an exception of the drum, which should be replaced by a small
(invisible) modern single chip controller to simulate it, since
spining up every day for demonstration purpose wasn't possible even
back when the machine was new.
Anyway - great accident.
