If you are interested in historical computers you might like to take a
look at the new release of ee9, my emulator of the English Electric KDF9,
now available here:

<http://www.findlayw.plus.com/KDF9/#Emulator>

where you can find pre-built binaries for macOS and Linux.
I expect that the Linux binary will also work on Windows 10,
but have not tried that.

For the first time, this release of ee9 enables both the use of the
Kidsgrove optimising Algol 60 compiler and the execution of object
programs under the control of the Time Sharing Director,
KDF9's elegantly simple multiprogramming operating system.

In the download package are papers describing the hardware and software of 
the KDF9,
and its role in the development of machine-independent benchmarking.

ee9 and its ancillary programs are written in Ada 2012 (of course).
Source code, and instructions on using the build process, are also included.

Enjoy!
