The ND100 Emulator Project (nd100em) strives to be able to completely run ND-100 code and emulate a ND-100 computer to the degree it can boot and run SINTRAN III.

Authors

  • Per-Olof Åström
  • Roger Abrahamsson
  • Zdravko Dimitrov
  • Göran Axelsson

Status

  • In active development. Most of the basic instructions implemented and some of the system ones. MMS implemented. Able to run some ND100 software.
  • It can run BPUN files thats stripped down, but has a long way until all system functions are working. MAC sort of works, as well as INSTRUCTION-B, which is the main test program used for now to see how well it behaves.
  • Version 0.1.6 introduced functions to measure emulator speed, and on a 2.6GHz P4, it is around 5-10 times on average faster than an original ND-100, counted per instruction over a large number of instructions. The code is NOT optimized for speed at all.
  • Usually the projects experimental code is further ahead than these versions available here.

Wanted Information

  • Specifications for IOX4-7.
DoneDone Partially solved, Memory Parity.
  • Specifications for IOX0-3.
The floppy interface will answer at IOX 0-7 if thumbwheel is at an illegal position.
  • Information about expected behaviour of CLEPT and SETPT (Inparameters, effects etc)
  • PROG File format.
  • Details of Floppy IOX calls...
DoneDone Solved, see 3010.

Known Bugs

Something is wrong in character input for INSTRUCTION-B. Typing HELP should give HELP, not "No such command !"

Documentation

Some online documentation is generated with Doxygen.

Code

Latest development code can be found in the development git tree.

  • v0.1 - Initial release, able to run image of ND100 MAC
