[Simh] New IBM 650 Simulator

[Sancho Villa, Roberto]

Hi Folks

The first release of the IBM 650 computer simulator is available from the Computer History Simulation Project (SIMH) site: https://github.com/simh/simh

This release supports basic machine with 2K drum memory, a IBM 533 card read-punch, and a IBM 407 for printing.
There is a IBM 650 Simulator User's Guide Microsoft Word format in the "doc" subdirectory of the code base snapshot downloaded from the github site.

In the "I650" directory some software is available ready to run in "sw" subdirectory.


*         SOAP II assembler - the standard assembler for this computer

*         Floating Point Interpretive System - a IBM 701 SpeedCode like, for Floating Point computing

Both have .ini script for building from source and test-run examples. Sw comes from bitsavers manuals (OCRed)

On the roadmap are Tape support, Disc support, Floating Point, etc. I'm also looking for any sw in any form: deck images or listings. Please contact me if you know or have access to something interesting!

Also working on getting FORTRANSIT software running. This will be the oldest original fortran version working by now!

Thanks to Mark Pizzolato for his help on getting this first release to the main repository.

Any comments/suggestions are very welcome.

Regards
Roberto
