Simulating the 1130 on 21st-Century Hardware

Want to have an 1130 of your own? They're hard to find these days, but... you can have the next best thing: an emulated 1130 to run on your very own PC.

We have developed an IBM 1130 simulator based on Bob Supnik's SIMH package (see http://simh.trailing-edge.com/). The simulator simulates an 1131 processor with up to 32KW of memory, the console keyboard and printer, 1132 printer, 1442 card read/punch, and up to five disk drives. It's a work in progress, but it runs Disk Monitor System Release 2 Version 12, and it's pretty fun.

You can download our simulator from the Downloads tab on this page.

NOTES:

• We now have copies of APL\1130 and RPG and will be making them available for download fairly soon.
• If you're interested in the simulator, be sure to sign the guestbook and ask to be added to the update mailing list so we can notify you of software updates and additions. (The list is private, and the mail volume is VERY low, so please don't hesitate to sign up).
