[Simh] IBM 650 Simulator Release 4
Hi All The Release 4 of the IBM 650 computer simulator is available from the Computer History Simulation Project (SIMH) site: https://github.com/simh/simh This release is focused on Disk and Tape devices. I've recovered some interesting software, ready to test in SW/ directory · Donald Knuth SuperSoap: the most advanced assembler IMHO, full of nice programming tricks like a subroutine computing return address! · Regional Assembler from Missile Systems Division Lockheed Aircraft Corporation: Seems to be very similar to IBM 701 Regional Assembler: no mnemonics!, just regions to allow code to be at non-absolute addresses On the hardware side, still unimplemented the inquiry stations, as I've spotted no sw at all that use them. Any help is welcome. Any comment/suggestion is also very welcome. Best regards Roberto This is a summary of what's new oNew Hardware support: § IBM 650 Model 4 with 4000 words drum memory. § IBM 652 Control Unit: provides up to 6 tape units IBM 727 § Table LookUp on equal feature (provides TLE opcode) § IBM 355 RAMAC Disk Storage oNew Software included: § SOAP IIA-4000 multipass assembler § SOAP IIA-4000 Tape Librarian § Regional Assembler § SuperSoap oNew features: § CARDDECK SPLIT command now allows to split availability table deck and condensed 5-word-per-load-card deck. oThe usual bug correction pack Este correo electrónico y, en su caso, cualquier fichero anexo al mismo, contiene información de carácter confidencial exclusivamente dirigida a su destinatario o destinatarios.

[Simh] IBM 650 Simulator Release 3
Hi All The Release 3 of the IBM 650 computer simulator is available from the Computer History Simulation Project (SIMH) site: https://github.com/simh/simh This release comes with FORTANSIT, the first FORTRAN port. According to Bob Bemer (https://www.bobbemer.com/FTRANSIT.HTM) : FORTRAN(704) 1957 June FORTRANSIT (650) 1957 August (just 2 months later) FORTRAN(705) 1958 September As Fortran I for IBM 704 is lost, FORTANSIT becomes the oldest working Fortran compiler available on SimH. In the sw/fortransit directory there are several source programs examples and the necessary scripts to run then. This is a summary of what's new * New Hardware support: o IBM 653 Storage Unit: provides machine opcodes for Floating Point, Immediate Access Storage (IAS), Three Index registers, Cards Punch-read synchronizers 2 and 3. * New Software included: o FORTRANSIT: version II (S), plus run time PACKAGE with standard Fortran functions. o Reorganized sw directory, separating each language in its own folder. Each one Includes a 00_readme.txt file with restoration notes and comments. * New features: o Support for SOAP opcode mnemonics in addition to regular IBM mnemonics o FAST / REALTIME CPU options o PROP pseudo register o CARDDECK ECHOLAST command to display last n read cards that are in the simulated input take hopper Any comments/suggestions are very welcome.

[Simh] IBM 650 Simulator Release 2
Hi All The Release 2 of the IBM 650 computer simulator is available from the Computer History Simulation Project (SIMH) site: https://github.com/simh/simh This release is focused on Carnegie Internal Translator (IT), included in the in "sw" subdirectory. It is a real pre-fortran compiler, than can handle expressions and arrays. Works nicely, source and some ready to run samples are included. Please check the Section "4 Software Support" and following one on manual (simh\doc\i650_doc.doc) for more details This is a summary of what's new o Hardware support: § Half cycle simulation § Halt CPU simulation (^E on SimH console) o New Software included: § Carnegie Internal Translator (IT) o New features: § Support for displaying SOAP symbolic instructions in debug information § CardDeck internal command to split/join/print decks of cards o Bugs corrected: § Fixed card format handling. Release 1 can only read TEXT format punched cards. Release 2 can read any SimH supported formats BIN, TEXT, BCD, CBN, EBCDIC and OCTAL § Removed superfluous line ends from debug strings. Release 1 adds a redundant \r to debug output. Release 2 removes the extra unneeded \r § Better minus zero support § Fixed unneeded prompt Really truncate memory [N] when setting memory size Any comments/suggestions are very welcome.
