Hi old SSL software people (I don't mean you are old, just the technology! Heck, actually, I'm probably one of the oldest people on this forum at nearly 58 ...!).
I have been following the various posts regarding building a replacement SSL computer system with interest and notice how you all vary your views as times goes on and you find out what is involved and how complex it may be.
I hope this can happen at some point but I can't help for now as I don't deal with computer code, only wires, connectors and metalwork.
At some point when this gets near the point of being in production or as a prototype, I can help, especially with my past knowledge of SSL systems from about 1980. At the moment, I will read the posts and wait along with everyone else who wants this to be a viable modern day SSL computer replacement.
From what I have witnessed on this site, there seems to be the know how here to make this new computer and, of course, it's been over 30 years since it was first designed, a huge amount of time for some piece of technology to still be in use. I guess credit must go to the original SSL software people (like Paul Bamborough) for such a brilliant and future proofed design to begin with. I doubt whether Paul, nor others, would have anticipated that their original concept would have lasted as long as it has!
Continue the good work people and contact me one day when I can be of assistance.
Finally, can people possibly refrain from including general quotes when replying to emails as they take up loads of scrolling space and time.
Thanks and regards from Jim Lassen
