Instruction set of the MIRACLE (Ferranti Mark I, 1953)
The MIRACLE (Mokums Industrial Research Automatic Calculator for Laboratory and Engineering, or May It Replace All Chaotic Laboratory Experiments) was the first electronic computer in a commercial environment in the Netherlands. That was back in 1953. My mother was one of its programmers. Here is an instruction table for the computer, including printout characters like the at-sign: @. The machine was fed with tape. You can see that the instructions were 5 bits wide. Onno - june 7, 2007, 22:28 - 1 comment
In principe is het een goede zaak dat Wikipedia het auteursrecht serieus neemt (deed elke website dat maar). Maar ze moeten niet overdrijven.
