Here's a nice and working (on 64-bit Win7) emulator of the 1949-51 EDSAC, by the way: http://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~edsac/ http://www.dcs.warwick.ac.uk/~edsac/ It comes with a good tutorial and lots of code written in 1949-51 for the real EDSAC.
- dang 12y agoOh that should definitely be its own post sometime. Thanks!
- leoc 12y agoAlso, some contemporary video of the EDSAC "workflow": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsirYCAocZk#t=1613 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsirYCAocZk#t=1613 . The EDSAC was pipped by the Manchester "Baby" prototype, which was activated and ran a test program in 1948: http://www.computer50.org/mark1/firstprog.html http://www.computer50.org/mark1/firstprog.html .
