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 starting from the lowest level primitives and working upward.

In this session, I plan on continuing (and perhaps finishing) a simulation module modeling a read-only memory card built from a "8316" ROM chip and a bit of external logic, to present a 2K x 8 bit random access read-only memory.
