pkimpel/retro-1620
Web-based emulator and operating environment for the IBM 1620 Model-2 computer system.
retro-1620 is a JavaScript emulator that runs the IBM 1620 Model 2, a 1960s transistorized decimal computer, entirely in a web browser. It recreates the unusual memory-to-memory, variable-field-length architecture and its peripherals, and doubles as an effort to recover and run original IBM 1620 software like SPS, FORTRAN II, and the Monitor batch system.
Why now: It was discussed on Hacker News, likely because it recently demonstrated booting IPL-V from 1963 in the browser, a notable retro-computing achievement.
Who it is for: Retro-computing enthusiasts, computer historians, and curious developers interested in running vintage mainframe-era software.
