Hi William,
thanks a lot. I found the book noted at the page of Jan van der
Spiegeln, who did the project years ago. He tell me the ISBN, but I
will see, whats Google offer me.
I have yet to be able to run it, but there is a simulation online at:
http://page.mi.fu-berlin.de/zoppke/D/index.html
Under 'Simulation' there are some documentation links including
http://page.mi.fu-berlin.de/zoppke/D/doc/ENIACsim.pdf
which gives a little more user-level detail of how the ENIAC
functioned and was programmed (still not enough though).
I'd still like to make up some web pages with a proper machine definition.
One of the issues with making a sim is whether one wants to start from a
machine definition and create your own logic, or do the logic as derived as
closely as possible from the original schematic, although given the nature of
the ENIAC that distinction probably isn't as great as it is for more typical
processors.
