The PDP-8/E Simulator is an emulator for the Digital Equipment Corporation PDP-8/E minicomputer, a famouse computer of the early 1970 years. The simulator, first released 1994, provides a comfortable user interface for running, writing and debugging PDP-8 software on a Mac and to learn about the internal functioning of a computer. It has a console with switches and flashing lights enabling the user to operate the PDP-8 like a hardware machine.
Maybe the simulator is of interest for a larger audience using it for educational purposes or as a remembrance to the good old time of the computer age. The simulator and its source code are published under the GNU General Public License.

What is new in this release:
This is the 25th anniversary of the PDP-8/E Simulator, and version 2.2 contains the following improvements:
- The PDP-8/E Simulator now has a Real Time Clock plug-in with various clock models and frequencies
- Improved real time performance (finally without any busy waiting) enables the simulator to pass the MAINDEC-8E-D8AC-PB DK8-E Clocks Diagnostics for all clock frequencies
- An improved plug-in API enables plug-ins to be written in Swift
- A Swift version of the Memory Content demo plug-in was added
- For the RK05 disk drives, now a gauge indicates the last accessed track of the disk and the kind of access (Read, Write or Seek)
- The ASR-33 no longer replaces "--" with "-" when "Use smart quotes and dashes" is enabled in the "Keyboard" System Preferences
- Fixed a very rare situation that could cause two PDP-8/E run threads to run simultaneously, causing total confusion
