6 months ago

IBM 1130 emulator modified to build and run with .NET Core, compatible with Linux, Mac, and Windows.
Complete IBM 1130 system simulation including CPU instruction set, device emulation (2501 card reader, 2310 disk drive), memory management, and interrupt handling.
Requires .NET 8.0 SDK or later and a C# compatible IDE or text editor.
Clone the repository and build using dotnet build.
Execute comprehensive test suite with 335+ unit tests covering CPU instructions, device operations, and system integration scenarios.
Test execution completes in under 2 seconds with performance benchmarks included.
Device emulation includes CPU Core (fully functional), 2501 Card Reader (complete), 2310 Disk Drive (partial implementation), and PowerShell Integration (legacy script untested).
Contributions welcome with guidelines in CONTRIBUTING.md covering code style, testing requirements, pull request process, and TDD.
Project includes backend Web API and optional React frontend with steps to run both locally.
Prerequisites for frontend include Node.js and npm.
Backend runs on http://localhost:5000 by default, frontend configurable via REACT_APP_API_URL.
Build frontend for production using npm run build.
Run tests for both backend and frontend.
Optional Docker support for building images defined in docker-compose.yml.
