In 1999, I downloaded a copy of a MITS Altair emulator program written for
the Windows platform by Claus Giloi. Claus, a programmer working for
Microsoft, wrote a 16-bit Windows-based "emulator" for the Altair and IMSAI
8080-based computers.
For the longest time, I was only able to find the binary distribution,
but no source code. Well, in June 2000 I came across a copy of the emulator
source code. Since then, I've been updating the code, written between 1991
and 1997, to fix various bugs (mostly in the processor core) add features
that were left out of the original design. When I originally spoke to Claus,
he did admit that the original "emulator" was created more for blinkenlights
than for use as a true machine emulator.
Before this project, I had no practical experience developing for the
Windows platform, and developing an emulator is certainly not a beginner's
project. Working with the emulator gave me the opportunity to learn Windows
programming in addition to the C language. To top it all off, I was working
with code written by someone who programs for a living.
