Title

Anything related to emulation or the history of computing

Goal

Develop tools to emulate or preserve software for older computer systems

Description

I work on some open source projects that aim to preserve the history of computing. For example, I've written software to rescue data from failing floppy disks, and to reconstruct historical operating systems from the 1970s and early games engines. Previous student projects in this area have included emulation of 1980s processors and a software-hardware setup to explore the behaviour of historical microchips. I'd be interested in supervising any projects in this area.
