Has anyone ever attempted to recreate all or part of the ENIAC? Maybe as
part of a CS project or museum?
Just curious.....

Jan Van der Spiegel at the University of Pennsylvania and some of his
students did an "ENIAC-on-a-chip" project several years ago. See:
http://www.ee.upenn.edu/~jan/eniacproj.html
There are still pieces of the actual ENIAC at the Moore School of
Electrical Engineering at the University of Pennsylvania; for a couple of
years, I had an office about 20 feet away from three cabinets of the
ENIAC, and a PDP-8 ...

For the 50th aniversary some few years ago there was a projet to put
ENIAC on a chip:
http://www.ee.upenn.edu/~jan/eniacproj.html
AFAIK no one has tried to rebuild the orginal in physical form.
On a related topic, the original Manchester (England) machine
which ran its first program in 1948 was reconstructed from mainly period
components. The story is here:

FYI
I got an emulator (win9x) of the Edsac (a SSEM contemporary
english computer) somewhere in the emulator section of
my website. With very instructive and elaborate documentation
This will give you an good idea of the level of sophistication
of computers from that era. Maybe crude to our current
standards but cutting edge for those days ......................
