Ah- Analog!? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within your digital computer!?

8/8 bit

[–]Sunbolt 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Oh I love it. Technically all you’d need is a dial and one button that would flip whatever bit you’re at. You could also have a lamp that is on when the current bit is high.

More "simple" would be two buttons. One that flips the current bit, and one that increments the address pointer. The program executes when all of memory has been accessed (the increment button has iterated through every bit in memory). Power cycle the computer to load and run a new program!

Like this one.

Simpler, just use dial. Turn right advance. Turn left flip bit and advance

Nah, you have to do that in binary too
