More complex expansion options included an Eprom programmer and an A4 plotting table.
The images below show the Emma processor, keypad and display unit, plus many of the available add-on boards. There was even a mini matrix printer for hard-copy output. Electronics Basic Microprocessor Application System MA02/1, included a large number of sensing, simulation and input-output boards that Emma could be hand-coded to interact with. In addition to the processor itself, the Emma range,L.J. Despite its mere 1K of RAM and 2K monitor in EPROM, it was deemed suitable for driving the Atlas arm.
The company behind LG Electronics still exists but is now known as LJ Create.Įmma, full name MS1 Emma Microcomputer, is a rudimentary 8-bit 6502 processor board, quite similar to the KIM-1 family, with attached hex-input keypad and 7-segment display that was marketed by LJ Electronics in the early eighties.
* Learn to code in pioneering educational languages ( Applesoft BASIC, Apple Logo II, 6502 Assembler) with features such as code editors and a reverse-debugger.
We believe that fostering a good understanding of the roots of modern technology is critical to the development of our future IT professionals, and microM8 is intended to (eventually) do just that: * Discover a wealth of Apple II software (in DSK, D13, PO, DO, Applesauce WOZ, NIB, 2MG, and HDV formats) in an easy-to-navigate environment. Also, microM8 is free! The next generation of emulators, microM8 hopes to encourage learning and creativity by eliminating barriers present in traditional emulators, and by providing incentives for our users to collaborate and code. There are builds for Windows, macOS (Apple Macintosh) and Linux. Supported models are the 48k Apple II, the 64k Apple II+ and the unenhanced and enhanced 128k Apple IIe with Mockingboard, Serial, Printer, Mouse, Disk II, SmartPort and CP/M cards.
MicroM8 not only provides solid emulation of Steve Wozniak’s masterpiece 8-bit Apple II series computers, but also redefines retro-computing with ‘upcycling’ features such as 3D and HD graphics rendering, user-movable camera views, PVR-style memory state recording with “live rewind” (the only publicly-available Apple II emulator that can do this!), an integrated cloud-based disk library, Apple compatible BASIC and LOGO interpreters re-written in native Go which provide additional video modes (including 3D modes), functions and user-interface enhancements, local network and Internet-based screen sharing, and more! Update: microM8 now has experimental GUI frontends for Windows, macOS and Linux.
