PERQ Emulator Progress (of sorts)!

Sorry, I just had to share this with someone, and I thought some of you guys might appreciate it... I've been working on a Three Rivers PERQ emulator since last year in my spare time, though I've had basically no time the past eight months or so. Last I left the code, it managed to boot POS about halfway before the boot process would hang. Well, I managed to fix (or at least, work around) the bug causing the hang, which brought me to this: http://yahozna.dyndns.org/projects/PERQemu/PERQ-3.png Ok, it doesn't look like _much_, but compare it with the photo here: http://yahozna.dyndns.org/computers/perq/photos/pos-boot.jpg (Hint: They're the same thing, only one's really scrambled up :P) The boot process is still erroring out, but it's about 99% there (at DDS 951). Of course, I obviously still have a ways to go. As evidenced by the completely garbled text, I have yet to get the PERQ's unique (and extremely complicated) RasterOp hardware emulated to any significant degree. And after that I have a ton of hardware details to work out. But this is a major milestone, and I'm so excited that I just had to share my excitement with someone... I never thought I'd get anywhere near this far with the emulation, given how complicated the PERQ is. And if I've seen so far, it's because I've been standing on the shoulders of giants. Or one giant, at least -- our own Tony Duell who's been ever-so-patient with my questioning and who probably knows more about the PERQ hardware than the original designers did... Thanks for taking a look, and sorry for tooting my own horn... Josh
