Hey, this isn't too bad. Do you know any sites Charles, which might have
some of that code written back when the original machine was built?

There's

I downloaded the Life, Invaders & Pong which are all just non-playable
demos, I'll have a look Towers of Hanoi Puzzle & see if that's playable. I
see this machine had what appears to be a dialer, I wonder if that's
programmable, so that when pressed it could do something.

I'm still a very long way off knowing how the EDSAC language works. :-( But
still I could have a read about it.
