ETH Lilith emulator available
Jos Dreesen
I prepared a new & improved release of Emulith, my emulator for the ETH Lilith hardware.
For those that do not know the Lilith :
It is an early AMD2901 based ,16 bit workstation (1979-1982) with an architecture specially targetted towards the Modula-2 language. It was designed by a team under lead of N. Wirth, creator of Pascal & Modula 2.
New emulator features :
- Usage of the FLTK toolkit instead of of Xlib.
- Windows port. - Landscape/portrait modes
- normal/reverse video.
- file transfer to / from host system
- diskimage make & split tool.
- partial floppydisk support.
- Speed display.
Basic CPU emulation remained unchanged and, as before, sourcecode is supplied.
Interested parties can now download from my FTP site :
- The Emulith for Windows package, tested on Vista & XP :
ftp://jdreesen.dyndns.org/ftp/Emulith/emulith_v12.msi
- or the Emulith for Linux package, made on Ubuntu 8 :
ftp://jdreesen.dyndns.org/ftp/Emulith/emulith_v12.tgz
- for OS-X : no package yet as I do not own a Mac.
However I expect very little issues in porting to the Mac.
Volunteers can contact me.
- and a set of diskimages, independent of host OS :
ftp://jdreesen.dyndns.org/ftp/Emulith/disks.tar.gz
Medos V4 source code disk is among these, although
it has some serious restrictions due to a buggy transfer.
Enjoy,
Jos Dreesen

Didn't you get the memo about computers not
having floppy disks anymore?

Sure I did.
I assume that you didn't get the note about reading manuals ?

He doesn't have the ability to read the note, let alone any manuals.

The fact that I can walk up to a computer I've never seen
before and sit down and start doing work must REALLY bug
you elitists.

No it does not bug us, it simply means that we have done our job
properly. However you could say thank you.

You wouldn't think so listening to /BAH.

Thank you!
And I mean that sincerely. I have wanted a computer ever
since I saw sci-fi movies back in the fifties (Der Koloss
von New York is one of the earliest I remember. That's
the title from the German poster of the film which I'm
looking at hanging on the wall in my office.)
I didn't care about the computer itself, but what I could DO!
Now, all I've ever wanted is fulfilled. I can sit down with
Python and it's unlimited precision math and do research on
the Collatz Conjecture and give virtually no thought to things
like operating systems, compilers, overflows, memory allocation
and other such nonsense.
Yep, the computer world has become an Eden for the user.
