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.

This recording starts with the "subs" facility, which is a list of steps that can be called in order,
followed by the "step at" facility which is a function to be called, a parameter to pass it, and the
simulated time when the function is called.
