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.

Some time has passed. The simulation is ready to start running some code, so I spent a while (many hours) reading through my 8080 fig-FORTH assembly code and getting it into a running state.

This recorded (not streamed) session does a very fast retrospective, and demonstrates fig-FORTH 8080 running on the simulation.
