ENIAC Resources
Here is the collection of ENIAC resources that I've
been collecting and developing over the past 10 years.
This page is essentially the index for these resources.
Documentation (Scans)
Most of this material has come from scans of the
University of
Pennsylvania Archives copy of microfilm of the
patent trial exhibits, with others as noted.
Documentation (Original)
- Discussion of the Turing Completeness
of the ENIAC
- Description of the ENIAC tube circuits.
This is intended to be a draft of a chapter of a book tentatively
titled ENIAC Handbook.
- CSV file listing about 900
of the original ENIAC drawings
Simulator
The material related to my simulator (essentially the page
that was previously the index here) is currently on the following
single page:
