I saw one of the first CDC 6600's being debugged by CDC technicians at the Courant Institute at New York University in the 60s. It was an amazing sight: they were measuring signal delays and shapes with scopes and then cutting cables differently to modify what they were seeing. Needless to say, it took a VERY long time to get the system running.
I hadn't realized that DTCyber was a paid product. Given what a real 6600 must cost to run, the license for DTCyber has to be inexpensive by comparison. The lack of a hobbyist program from the software licensor makes a freeware simulator not very interesting, at least to me. This also limits the appeal of trying to simulate the DG Eclipse lines, both 16b and 32b, as another example. /Bob . _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
