Very cool! And of course (?) this being the Internets and me getting the silly idea to look into writing an assembler and/or emulator for it just for fun, that's already been done [1] and years ago. Nice! <3 There are more projects, this one is just the first in my list of search results.

Yes, hello there! That was my first whirlwind emulator. The current and third iteration is a very low level one for which I reconstructed the control matrix from around 1954. You can find the code here: https://github.com/aap/blincolnlights/tree/master/whirlwind https://github.com/aap/blincolnlights/tree/master/whirlwind Unfortunately it currently doesn't run without the little frontpanel i built (blincolnlights 18), but with just a little work that should not be a problem. The only IO device is currently the point plotting display. The other person interested in Whirlwind I is Guy Fedorkow and his emulator is here: https://github.com/gfedorkow/Whirlwind-Instruction-Simulator/tree/master https://github.com/gfedorkow/Whirlwind-Instruction-Simulator... Whirlwind I is an absolutely cool and lovely machine. I always call it the first microcontroller (not very micro though, took up a whole building).
