Hello

[Andy Fowler]

Thank you for letting me join your group.

I am British and live in the UK. I was brought up on Univac from the early 1970s with Univac 1050 being my first mainframe followed by U9400, U9480, U9200, U9300, and U90/30 before moving onto Wang VS.

I was quite envy that Hercules catered for the IBM guys and always thought about a 9400 and 90/30 emulator. Perhaps a Univac emulator on a Raspberry Pi !!

Cheers

Andy

Welcome Andy; Good to find another Univac enthusiast. I've always felt that the old Univac systems don't get enough love from the vintage computer community. Although one of our members works with a German museum that has a working 9200 and 9400. And another of our members works with a museum that has a working 1218.

As far as having a Univac emulator on a Raspberry PI that is theoretically possible. All of my emulators are written in Delphi so if someone were willing to port them to Lazarus (an open source Delphi like IDE) we could have them running on Linux. The emulators do run under Wine on Linux but they tend to be somewhat sluggish.

I dabbled in Delphi 1 when it was first released by Borland. Along with Prolog it was flavour of the month all those years ago. I will need to look at the code and understand it. My new laptop arrived and I have yet to decide whether to have a Linux VM under Windows or a Windows VM under Linux or Boot choice.
