Show HN: Transputer emulator in JavaScript (fast enough to be useful)


Transputer emulator written in Javascript running my operating system from 1995.

Finally, for the display I was pretty fortunate to find jsTerm by Peter Nitsch with a compatible license. This emulator doesn't have options to run my early Pascal compiler or the Small-C compiler, instead it comes preloaded with my full-blown operating system(Spring 1996), it includes a lot of features like multiple drives (A: is a 1.44mb floppy, B: is a 512K RAM disk, C: is a 40 MB hard drive, D: is a CD-ROM in ISO-9660 format but no image can be loaded). My emulator in C is way faster than this demo, but if you have a speedy computer and a good browser, this Javascript version can be very interesting.
