DEC PDP-8 on Arduino Mega 2560 & Arduino DUE, 4K running FOCAL 69
  • last month
Source is here : https://github.com/KedalionDaimon/DEC-PDP-8-on-Arduino I ported jcw's 256-LoC PDP-8 emulator onto Arduino. Using a memory dump of his original system, the .ino initializes now by default to FOCAL 69 in 4K words of RAM, a retro language extremely similar to BASIC. Both Arduino 2560 & Arduino DUE are demonstrated running the system on a Brother EP 44 typewriter/paper terminal. Yes, you REALLY ONLY flash one simple .ino-file and get to have a 1960s era computer! Your space rocket program should thus receive its necessary computational push! #pdp-8 #dec #arduino #focal69
