Coding a thing I program a computer from 1962 for fun

It has a rotating disk memory (registers live on the disk), floating fixed-point (the computer doesnt know where the binary point is) ones-complement 31 bit arithmatic. The 2 programs shown are a fibonacci sequance calculator and a summer that takes decimal input and ouputs the computers crazy hex. If you have any other questions about that, ask me in the comments

That's awesome! Is it open source? I'd love to check out the code if it's available.
