SCELBI Emulator Features and Links
This version of the emulator features support of the following
SCELBI features:
- Emulation of 8008 processor running at a clock speed of 500
KHertz. This results in a cycle time of 250 KHertz and
execution of about 30,000 instructions per second, matching the
performance of a real 500 KHertz 8008.
- 4K or 16K SRAM or 12K SRAM with an optional 4K MEA EPROM.
Default setting is 12 SRAM memory and the 4K MEA PROM
installed.
- SCELBI Front Panel controls. You must use the front
panel to boot the SCELBI computer. Quick start
instructions are provided here.
- Cassette interface for reading and writing audio files.
These audio files are compatible with real SCELBI cassette
interface hardware.
- Teletype emulation with configurable baud rate and auto
linefeed settings. Default setting emulates a 110 baud
Teletype with auto linefeed disabled which is compatible with MEA.
- Direct loading of Intel hex object files into emulated
memory. This features speeds up loading of longer
programs, like SCELBAL, a floating point BASIC for
the 8008.
