Hi All,

Lately I've been busy with the restoration of a 'Junior Computer' (Elektor/Elektuur).
I decided to build an emulator for it (still in beta development).
So for those interested you can find it here (open source):

https://github.com/ForNextSoftwareDevel ... orComputer

Best regards,
Dirk.

Welcome! Looks like an excellent idea. You might want to test your emulator's accuracy with the Dormann tests (or others.)

(I'm assuming this is a Windows project? That will certainly have an audience, although there are those who don't use it, including me.)

I built one, back in the day...

Sadly I no longer have it - long story involving my usual disregard for "obsolete" hardware back then... Hindsight, etc. ... Ah well.

But like Ed, I don't use windows so can't check it out, but don't let that stop you developing it. (although making it work under WINE might be nice)

Cheers,

-Gordon

Good point, WINE usually works - I use it on my macbook relatively often.

Thanks for the replies.
Yes, it is a Windows project using c#
Problem with c++ is that it would take much more time to achieve the same functionality.
I did make several programs under linux but that is usually quite time consuming.

C# can actually work well in Linux, in a way it provides its own portability layer. However I'm not sure about the UI side (WPF etc) - I've only run console applications this way.

Cool project. Have a Junior in real and the successors. But as other slaready mentioned, I could not test the software, as I do not have Windows. With graphic UI MacOS would be preferred for me.
