I'd like to encourage people to write simulators for one or two of the
early machines, as a way of keeping the history alive. The ENIAC was
plugboard-programmed, so it is not an enormously interesting machine to
simulate. But simulating IAS, or Binac, or Whirlwind, would be a useful
exercise. Especially if some original software could be found and brought
back to life.
Is there a vacuum-tube computer still running anywhere, even in a
museum?
