Hi all - Gatwick Airport was closed for many hours. Without getting into all of the details it became impossible to make it to the museum during my layover. As it was everything had to be perfect. I went to London for a few hours instead.
My goal was to see the Elliot 803 at the computer museum in Bletchley so I could learn more about how it worked, I found some code written for the 802, which would work on the 803, and I thought it might be worth the experience to see or maybe even operate the actual machine. There is no simH that I know of for the 802/803 but I have read some attempts at it. I realize I could not see the whole museum and would be rushed, but given I was only in London for an extended 17-hour layover, why not try? Peter Onion Elliott 803 Team leader was going to meet me. Thanks everyone for their feedback. I am going to try to visit next spring for a longer period so I can take my time. I also would like by then to try the same technique I used for the LGP-30 to get that running on simH, applied to the Elliot 803. I'd have to get my head back into that project. Complicated. Bill
