IBM 1410 Simulator

Between 1997 I worked on and off on a cycle-level simulator for the IBM 1410. Fortunately I have access to the IBM 1410 Field Engineering instructional materials and instructional logic diagrams which have very detailed flowcharts of the machine’s operation.

The program was written using Borland C++ and the Borland Visual Component Library (VCL). This should, I hope, make it easier to bring forward into a more recent version — now sold and supported by Embarcadero — with a free to use version available as the C++ Builder Community Edition.

As of December, 2019, the simulator is available on github at https://github.com/cube1us/1410 .

The simulator uses the Multi-Document interface in Windows – which has since essentially gone by the wayside, in favor of floating individual windows.

Paul Pierce and I recovered IBM 1410 Diagnostic, PR155 and PR108 system tapes many years ago. Richard Cornwell has a web site with copies suitable for use with SimH or this simulator (Except for the ones that are tailored to an IBM 7010.)
