Sounds like you are having some fun yourself. Hope it is going well.
Yes, and I would eventually like to build an FPGA representation of the
Pegasus but I haven't got as far as even deciding if I should emulate
the functional characteristics or go for a gate level emulation. At
present I am writing a software emulation from scratch so I have a
better understanding of how the machine works....
That one
has a soft spot in my heart to the extent that I can still
remember the numeric opcodes for many instructions. The 1401 occupies
a similar place in my memories. Little IBM boxes were really cute.
The 1620 I
used wasn't what I would call "cute" but it was the second machine I
programmed.
