This was kind of a labor of love for me but probably not to everyone's taste, or perhaps anyone's. The SAP1 is an extremely simple model of a microprocessor created by A.P. Malvino in his textbook Digital Computer Electronics. "SAP" stands for "Simple As Possible" and believe me, it is. Ben Eater has an excellent YouTube channel where he built a physical version of the SAP1 using breadboards and TTL chips only, no microprocessor. I enjoy this kind of nerdery, so I wrote an emulation of the SAP1 in MMBasic that includes a user interface inspired by Ben Eater's version. I also wrote an assembler to work with the tiny SAP1 instruction set. The instructions for how to use this emulator are too lengthy to incorporate into the program itself, so there is a PFD document included in the ZIP file that explains the computer and how to use it. If you like this kind of thing, enjoy! -Bill ![]() SAP1.zip |
