Developer’s Description

By Bernhard Baehr

Emulate DEC PDP-8/E minicomputer with your Mac.

The PDP-8/E Simulator is an emulator for the Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-8/E minicomputer, a famouse computer of the early 1970 years. The simulator, first released 1994, provides a comfortable user interface for running, writing and debugging PDP-8 software on a Mac and to learn about the internal functioning of a computer. It has a console with switches and flashing lights enabling the user to operate the PDP-8 like a hardware machine. Maybe the simulator is of interest for a larger audience using it for educational purposes or as a remembrance to the good old time of the computer age. The simulator and its source code are published under the GNU General Public License.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Fantastic - that's all I can say. PDP 8/E was one of the first computers used by newspapers to generate pre-hyphenated papertapes driving hot-metal line-casters.

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />Who couldn't love a computer that used 12-bit "words," and opcodes written in Octal, input using seventeen switches? My only complaint, worth less than half
