Hi,
"Sipke de Wal" <sipke(a)wxs.nl>
The Dutch Elektuur magazine (Elektor) devoted a lot of space 24 years ago
to a build-it-yourself SC/MP system. The firstversion came with dip-switches to
toggle in binary data into 256bytes of RAM.
Fiddeling with a few other switches would lead to running programs and
getting output via 8 LEDs.
I built one like that...before I got a Sinclair Mk14.
I'd try your emulator but I don't have Windows ;-)
I always liked the SC/MP - it was easy to write position independent code
and allowed me to do a Cassette Operating System which allowed multiple
resident programs - all in 1-point-somethink K!
