Hardware De-constructed and Re-constructed
A group of engineers have done emulation one better. In a a fantastic piece of reverse engineering, they have re-constructed a full-on software simulation of the MOS Technology 6502 microprocessor, the heart of the Apple, Apple II, Commodore PET, and a number of other early microcomputers and video game consoles.
The Javascript simulation allows you to watch the logic signals flow through the chip. For some reason the whole thing calls to mind the legendary days of entering programs by hand via rocker switches on the MITS Altair.
I don't have much to say about this one, it's just really cool!
