Join me as I use techniques from the 1980s and 1990s, a computer language standardized in 1999, and perhaps some more modern tools, to develop a discrete event simulation of an 8080-based computer system.

The rule was "Design from the top down, implement from the bottom up" -- and I have a basic design in mind, so we can swing right in with implementing the lowest level primatives.

In this stream I built the "step" -- the fundamental working unit of the simulation, which is a function to call and a parameter to pass to it. This served as the initial "ring the bell" to run through the basic development cycle, including expanding the test system and the benchmark capability.
