Hi dave farber, I was looking at your univac1 "50 years" and am
interesting in a project to find out about the programs that were
input to play the music for that univac1. The circuitry for it is
available in the prints, but I am having trouble finding the absolute
code used to play the music. Do you know who wrote that music program
and and the installation it was done at? I have written the Dept Of
Defense for help since I think an AF leutinent may have written it,
and they are looking into it. Any help on this project would be very
helpful.
See my web page about this wonderful computer. I think you were wrong
about the 500 drum memory, though, unless it was some ouffline memory
that was attached. It used mercury for main memory and for the
computation and control circuits as well . Al reiter
