# # 99 bottles of beer # # CODED IN ASSEMBLER FOR THE ENIAC # # The ENIAC was the first electrical computer. It was built in 1943 # to substitute the Bush Differential Analyzer, a mechanical computer # invented in 1925. # # The ENIAC was programmed by wiring cable connections and setting # three thousand switches on the function tables. # # To run this code you need access to an ENIAC emulator and assembler. # # The only one I have found on the Net is a copy used on a course in # the University of Alberta. According to the site, the original and # its documentation were lost after the hurricane Katrina hit the US # coast on 2005. # # The emulator, an assembler and binary-to-ascii converters, come as # a single package. The only docs available are from the course # assignment: # # http://www.ee.ualberta.ca/~cwc/courses/CMPUT379/Assignment%2001.html # # Should you want to run this on an actual ENIAC, you need to convert # it to binary (using the assembler in the package) and use the binary # to direct your cable plugging :-). # # (C) Jose R.

Get a book on history.

This IS a book on history - just told in a different form.
