I really only need the user-mode CPU, not any of the I/O. Wanted to work more on the TOPS-10/TOPS-20 OS Emulator. I want to put together a system that can run TOPS-10 and TOPS-20 executables at the command line (in cygwin or freebsd/linux). I think it would be much easier to write an OS emulator in a real OO language like C#. Even though I worked primarily in C for almost 30 years--I've totally fallen in love with C#. Only pain is that C# doesn't have octal :/. I'm also quite good at metaprogramming - writing languages which generate code (which C# is really good at supporting) -- the JSYS and CALLI interfaces can probably be autogenerated with a sufficiently complex specification. This is still ongoing. Need to finish the CPU and get so I can run most of the early diagnostics (this is how I developed the C emulator -- nice to essentially have some unit tests). Then I need to figure out what OS to do first. I've thought to get the 20 running and then make it run the pa1040.exe emulator on the 20. But I'd really like to do both separately. I got bogged down on the FILOP operations in C the first time around. I just ran MACRO and started emulating each CALLI I ran across in order (order of needed them). I have lots of tools I wrote load .SAV and .EXE files into memory that I can port. I'd also thought of the possibility of doing this whole user-mode emulator for RT-11, RSTS/E and RSX (of course we don't have sources to these--for the kernel anyway). </div></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div>* 2008-2009 PDPVM - Worked on porting SIMH PDP-10 base CPU into c#.

I want to put together a system that can run TOPS-10 and TOPS-20 executables at the command line (in cygwin or freebsd/linux). I think it would be much easier to write an OS emulator in a real OO language like C#. Even though I worked primarily in C for almost 30 years--I've totally fallen in love with C#. Only pain is that C# doesn't have octal :/. I'm also quite good at metaprogramming - writing languages which generate code (which C# is really good at supporting) -- the JSYS and CALLI interfaces can probably be autogenerated with a sufficiently complex specification. This is still ongoing. Need to finish the CPU and get so I can run most of the early diagnostics (this is how I developed the C emulator -- nice to essentially have some unit tests). Then I need to figure out what OS to do first. I've thought to get the 20 running and then make it run the pa1040.exe emulator on the 20. But I'd really like to do both separately. I got bogged down on the FILOP operations in C the first time around. I just ran MACRO and started emulating each CALLI I ran across in order (order of needed them).
