GE-115 Emulator
An Emulator of the General Electrics GE-115 computer
GE-120 signal reference

Global table of the hardware signals the emulator models (or is being driven to model), what each represents, what it is used for, and the side-effects / conditions it activates.

This document is the authoritative reference for the pin-by-pin, signal-level reader↔CPU effort: the goal is to connect the card reader to the CPU channel signal by signal (the COCA connector), drive each line, and have the emulator react to it exactly as the hardware would. New signals are added here as they are implemented; each entry states its direction, type, meaning, and the effect/condition it drives in the model.

Status legend: ✅ implemented · ◑ partial / abstracted · ☐ not yet modelled.

Polarity convention (GE): a numeric mnemonic suffix denotes a positive-going signal; an alphabetic suffix (e.g. trailing N) denotes negative-going / active-low. gemu works in logical-true terms (the N is the wire polarity).

Backplane (card·pin) column. Each signal table now carries the signal's location(s) on the CPU card-layout Atlas (/Atlas/row_*_pinout_verified.csv, backplane rows A–T = drawing 14026 136, cabinet section 2A). Format: <row><slot>·<pin> — e.g. G7·07 = row G, slot 7, pin 07. Entries are matched on the 4-character signal base (mnemonic+number), so every suffix/polarity variant is listed with its actual backplane code (e.g. LU08B the conn-2 line and LU082 its companion). All 20 Atlas rows (A–T) are now alphabet-cleaned to [A-Z0-9], so the index covers every legible pin on the 2A layout. means the signal is not on the 2A card-layout pins: it lives on another cabinet section not in this Atlas, or the only pin that would carry it was illegible on the scan and left blank. A handful of located cells still carry residual OCR glyph slips (O↔0 / B↔8 / I↔1 / S↔B, e.g. LU01S for LU01B) — the position (card·pin) is correct; the suffix may need a glance. The microcode-command tables (§6 CO/CI/CU/CA) are mostly : those are timed micro-commands, not pin-labelled backplane lines.


1. Card reader ↔ CPU/channel — the COCA connector

The card reader (LS 600 / GIS 450 controller) attaches on connector 2. COCA is the controller↔channel connector (CRZ schematics, dwg 14112 0781). These are the target pins for the signal-level model. Where gemu already carries the line, the "gemu" column names the signal/field; otherwise it is the next thing to wire.

1.1 Reader → CPU/channel

Pin Type Meaning gemu Effect / condition in the model Backplane (card·pin)
LU00NLU07N data transcoded character bits (8) integrated_reader.data (a byte) The presented character. Today carried as one byte, not 8 separate lines. The channel read latches it into RO and stores to mem[V]. LU00B: O8·05, O11·09; LU01S: M1·02; LU01B: O8·06, O11·13; LU023: M1·03; LU02B: O8·09, O11·12; LU03B: M1·04, O8·10, P12·16; LU04B: O8·11, O12·03; LU05B: M1·07, O8·12, O12·07; LU06B: M1·09, O8·13, O13·01; LU07B: M1·10, O8·14, O13·02
LU08N handshake/clock character-ready strobe integrated_reader.lu08 (LU081) "a byte is on the data lines." While set, the channel input cycle (b9/b1, cmd CI34 NE→RO→Mem) reads it; the peripheral clears it after consumption. The single most important read handshake. LU08B: G7·07; LU082: G7·14, H8·10
FININ handshake end-of-read, raised with the last character FINI1 (reader_get_FINI1) The controller "end" (→ RIG1). Bounds the transfer at the physical card boundary: drives the load-end sequence (b9→ea→eb→e3) instead of continuing.
FIDEN status end-of-sequence (all data transferred) integrated_reader.fiden (FIDE1) Set by cardreader_on_clock when the deck is exhausted (CR_DONE). Observable end-of-sequence; the full in-transfer-clear/LUPOR-reassert handshake is still minimal.
LUPOR status reader free / ready LUPO1 (reader_get_LUPO1) Driven by cardreader_on_clock: ready (1) while not finished and not presenting a byte. Held 0 whenever LU08=1, which keeps PELEA = !(LU08·LUPO1) at 1 so the read data path is unchanged. (Test cardreader.lupor_ready_invariant.) LUPOB: L7·04, N8·05, N14·03
LUREN status error (transcoder / jam) integrated_reader.luren (LURE1) cardreader_on_clock: when set, the reader cannot deliver data — presents nothing and the read stalls in error. The faithful RG011-decode → peripheral-error/interrupt condition is deferred to the CAN2 interrupt integration. (Test cardreader.luren_error_stalls.) LUREB: L1·09, M13·03, N8·09
LUSEN status out-of-service integrated_reader.lusen (LUSE1) cardreader_on_clock: when set, the reader is offline — presents nothing and reports not-ready, so a read parks/completes as unit-not-ready instead of getting data. (Test cardreader.lusen_out_of_service_stalls.) LUSEB: M15·01, N8·06
LENON status **"not operable"** condition (official LENOB/LENO, decoded by RG131; earlier mislabelled "manual mode") integrated_reader.lenon (LENO1) reader_send_tu10 (CE09): when set, the TU03N card-feed strobe is suppressed — a not-operable reader does not advance under the CPU feed. (Test reader_signals.lenon_inhibits_feed.) LENOB: L1·13, M16·01
BI20 clock binary-read aux clock — 2nd nibble, ~15 µs after LU08 integrated_reader.bi20 (BI201) cardreader_on_clock raises it while the low nibble of a packed binary column is on the lines (the second sub-read). Observable framing of the packed nibble-pair feed (§3). (Test cardreader.feed_state_lines_pom_pico_bi20.)
POM01 status binary-mode indicator integrated_reader.pom01 (POM01) cardreader_on_clock: high while presenting in a binary / by-pass read (TC_BINARY/TC_COLBIN). Observable. (Test cardreader.feed_state_lines_pom_pico_bi20.) POMOD: L7·01; POMO2: L7·16
PICON handshake first-column check integrated_reader.picon (PICO1) cardreader_on_clock: high while presenting column 0 of a card — the leading-column marker. Observable. (Test cardreader.feed_state_lines_pom_pico_bi20.)

1.2 CPU/channel → reader

Pin Type Meaning gemu Effect / condition in the model Backplane (card·pin)
RE00NRE08N data (8+parity) character data toward the reader register rRE (connector-name byte) The byte the CPU presents (output / command code). 8 data + odd parity. RE00B: I1·01, L6·03; RE002: I6·09, M9·10; RE00A: N9·03; RE01B: H6·09; RE018: I1·02; RE012: M9·07; RE01A: M9·13, N20·06; RE02B: I1·03; RE022: M9·06; RE024: N20·03; RE03B: I1·04; RE032: I6·12, M10·10; RE039: L6·04; RE03A: N10·03; RE034: N20·05; RE04B: I1·06; RE04Z: I6·13; RE048: L6·05; RE042: M10·07; RE04A: M10·13, M20·05; RE05B: I1·07, L6·11; RE052: I6·05, M10·06; RE05A: M10·09, M20·03, M20·07; RE06B: I1·09, L6·12; RE062: I6·04, M11·10; RE06A: M20·06, N11·03; RE07B: I1·10, L6·13; RE072: I6·03, M11·07; RE07A: M11·13, M20·02; RE08B: I1·12, L6·14; RE082: I6·02, M11·06; RE08A: M11·09
TU00N timing read-strobe clock for RE data Clocks RE data into the reader. TU002: G6·04; TU00B: I1·15
TU03N command card-feed / advance clock integrated_reader.tu03 (CE09) Raised once per card in the end state (ea) — not a per-column clock (empirically TU03 = RT111·PC121 is asserted only at end-of-card, never during b1/b8). cardreader_on_clock reads it as a one-cycle pulse and uses it to gate the cross-to-next-card feed (the per-column cadence stays on the lu08 read handshake). Suppressed by LENON. (Tests cardreader.tu03_feeds_at_end_of_card, cardreader.sequential_two_cards.) TU032: H9·16, I6·01; TU03B: L6·15; TU038: M1·13
N001,N002 command normal-mode read decode (GE char code) Selects the normal transcoding/read mode; still only represented abstractly through the latched active_mode.
DEBI command binary-read mode decode (by-pass) ◑ (by-pass implied by TC_COLBIN) Selects raw column-binary read; the loader's "set by-pass" PER asserts this on the real machine.
MI01,MI02 command mixed-mode read decode Selects the mixed-mode reader decode.
RIFAN command card reject / eject Reject/eject command toward the reader.
REGEN control general clear / reset ge_clear resets reader latches Clears reader/controller latches on power-up / error recovery.
SESEN control put-in-manual Forces the reader/controller to manual mode.
COCON clock mode-select clock to the transcoder Latches the selected read mode (N001/N002/DEBI/MI01/MI02) into the transcoder/controller.

2. CPU channel & sequencer signals (the transfer machinery)

These are the internal signals that drive a peripheral transfer; the reader pins above feed into them. Implemented in signals.h (SIG(...)) and struct ge.

Signal Meaning Effect / condition Backplane (card·pin)
RC00 CPU-active cycle request When set, NA_knot routes the program sequencer (rSO); dropping it at a transfer-wait freezes the CPU until a channel request arrives.
RC01 channel-1 cycle request (async) Reader/connector-1 wants a memory cycle. RC012: H13·06, H16·11, I14·14
RC02 channel-2 cycle request (async) Integrated reader (LU08-derived) and the printer (OR'd via RIMZA) want a channel-2 cycle. Key for the reader-on-channel-2 read.
RC03 channel-3 cycle request (async) Connector-3 peripheral. RC032: H13·10, H16·07, I14·15
RIA0/RESI/RIA2/RIA3 synchronous request, latched from RC0x at TO00 Stage the async request into the cycle-assignment logic. RIA2 = RC02 latched.
RES0 program/CPU cycle assigned = !RESI & ... — this cycle belongs to the CPU sequencer. RES06: C5·10, D4·13, G16·13
RES2 channel-2 cycle assigned = !RIA3 & !RESI & RIA2. When true, NA_knot routes rSI & 0x0f — i.e. the cycle runs a **channel-2 sequencer (rSI) state**. This is the gate the channel-2 reader transfer needs. RES26: C5·06, G13·13, G16·14, M17·16
RES3 channel-3 cycle assigned Routes channel-3 (rSV/connector-3). RES36: C5·02, C16·09, G13·09, G16·09, H15·03, O10·11, P12·03, P13·03; RES3B: C16·10, G15·12
RIUC micro-cycle / executing-state assignment Routes the executing state (rSA).
rSO program + channel-1 sequencer state The main CPU state register.
rSI channel-2 sequencer state The channel-2 transfer micro-state; routed into rSA on a RES2 cycle. Input states 0C/0E; output 02/03; end 0A/0B.
rSA the state actually executing this cycle (NA_knot) RES2 ⇒ rSA = rSI&0x0f; RES0/RIUC ⇒ rSA = rSO; no request ⇒ 0 (idle/frozen).
RASI channel-1 in-transfer flag Set at org-phase ab; gates the integrated reader to present bytes during a channel-1 read (b8/b9/b1).
RACI/RICI console / register-selector inhibit & step controls Gate sequencer advance under console forcing.
RIG1 controller "end" (from FINI) Terminates a record; steers b9 to the load-end states.
RIVE length terminal-count End-of-transfer when the instruction length L1 is exhausted (the count-based end, complementary to RIG1).
RIMZA printer→RC02 OR Lets the integrated printer raise the channel-2 request without its own RC0x.
DU97 = PUC2 ^ L2.3 Gates state b8's exit to alpha; with PUC2 asserted the channel-2 external-request wait completes (used by the printer model). DU971: A24·14, B26·02, D32·10, E11·11; DU97A: E11·10
PUC2 channel-2 unit-ready Asserting it (with RC00) lets state_b8's own microcode complete a parked channel-2 PER. PUC2L: E25·12, F12·09; PUC26: E26·04, E36·03, E40·11, F12·07, I10·13, L12·04, L13·14, L35·07
CI34 command: NE → RO → mem The input-read store command in the channel input transfer (b9 TO50).
CE16 command: "Load Printer Buffer" (RO → channel-2 sink) The output emit command (state_02); hands RO to the printer. CE161: E12·14
L204/L206/L207 order-block control bits (rL2) Direction/qualifier of the transfer: L207 selects OUTPUT vs INPUT; L204/L206 qualify the b9 branch. L204F: D34·04, D34·05, D35·03, M28·09; L206F: A25·02, A26·04, A26·06, E14·11, F13·07, N28·13; L207F: A26·09, A27·07, B31·05, F8·06, F22·05, F38·05, N28·10

3. Notes on the current model vs the pin-by-pin target

  • Channel-1 read (b8/b9/b1, driven by LU08/FINI/RASI) is fully implemented and is the working integrated-reader read path. The bootstrap IPL uses it.
  • Channel-2 read is the open gate: a loader PER that reads on channel 2 parks at b8 frozen (rSA=0, no request); it needs RC02 → RIA2 → RES2 → an rSI input transfer state to un-freeze and read. Implementing the rSI input states (0C/0E) + having the reader assert RC02 is the next step.
  • Data lines / modes: the reader still presents a byte (LU00N–LU07N collapsed) and a lu08 strobe; the CPU-selected read mode is decoded into the N001/N002/DEBI/MI01/MI02 flags (Phase 2) and the framing is now exposed on POM01 (binary indicator), BI20 (2nd-nibble clock) and PICON (first column) during the feed (Phase 6). Splitting the 8 data bits into separate lines remains the only representation choice still collapsed.
  • Status lines: LUSEN (out-of-service), LENON (manual), LUPOR (ready), FIDEN (end-of-sequence) (Phase 3) and LUREN (error/jam, Phase 6) are modelled and reactive. The only remaining gap is the faithful LURENRG011 → interrupt condition, deferred to the CAN2 interrupt integration.

Extend this table whenever a new signal is wired; keep the Effect / condition column concrete (what it sets/clears/gates), not just a gloss.


4. GE-120 official signal index (signal dictionary)

Transcribed from the official GE-120 signal index (NOME/NAME · CAPITOLO/CHAPTER · SCATOLA/BOX · descrizione IT/EN). Ch = schematic chapter, Bx = box on that sheet — the authoritative place to find the signal's logic. gemu marks what we model: ✅ implemented · ◑ partial/abstracted · ☐ not yet.

This is the reference for the channel-transfer and reader work: the channel-2 read needs RC021RIA21RES26 and terminates on RUF26/RIG?/RIL?.

L1/L3 length-decode family (from the L-family index pages, ch.057–068). These are the raw register decodes feeding the end-of-transfer logic:

Name Ch/Bx Decode (EN) gemu Backplane (card·pin)
LIU16 068/5 L1 (00÷03) = ALL ONES (low nibble)
LIUM6 068/10 L1 (00÷07) = ALL ONES (low byte) RL1U1 (the terminal-count my RENIA uses)
LIZIF 058/7 L1 (00÷03) = ALL ZEROES
LIZ2A 061/7 L1 (04÷07) = ALL ZEROES
LIZ3A 064/7 L1 (08÷11) = ALL ZEROES
LIZ4A 067/7 L1 (12÷15) = ALL ZEROES
LIZE6 068/23 L1 (00÷15) = ALL ZEROES (full 16-bit L1==0)

Phase-5 note / open question. A length-counted read "ends at L1+1 chars" (CPU[4] §5.8.4.3a). Counting L1 down, that terminal lands on L1 underflowing to all-ones (LIUM6/RL1U1) — which is what RENIA = !(RL1U1·L204) uses. The alternative the hardware might use is the all-zeroes decode LIZE6 (L1==0). This only matters once the per-character L1 decrement is wired into the read datapath (currently L1 stays constant, so RENIA is inert). Resolve against the B9 count timing (CPU[7]) before enabling true length termination.

Connector-2 integrated-reader lines (the COCA pins, official names)

These are the B-suffix (connector-2) reader lines from the L-family index; they are the official names behind the COCA model in §1. The data byte + strobe are collapsed in gemu (see §3); the four condition pins are wired in §1 (Phases 3/6). Each condition is decoded by an RG0x1 (§4.4) — the path for the deferred error/interrupt reaction.

‍The page-36 flowchart's **PC22** ("reader, integrated controller, on channel 2") is the reader-present decode that branches the channel-2 transfer: after the input state 0C, PC22-YES (reader) returns to B8 for the next request; PC22-NO (printer) goes to 04|06. It corresponds to the PELS1/PELM6 reader-on-connector-2 selection (vs the printer). PELM selects the addresser direction (V4−1 magnetic vs V4+1 card/photo).

"Sequenza Esterna TPER — Fase trasferimento dati canale 2 (per lettore e stampante integrate)." States are obtained by unloading S1 → SA1 (i.e. rSA = rSI&0x0f on a RES2 cycle — see NA_knot). State 0C runs on every request from the reader, and on the first request from the integrated printer.

State <tt>0C|0E</tt> — channel-2 INPUT (reader → memory)

V4 → VO (CO14: NO knot = V4 → memory address)
V4−1 → V4 [PELM] (magnetic reader: decrement addresser)
V4+1 → V4 [¬PELM] (card/photo reader: increment — CO41 + CO04)
NE → RO (CI34: channel-2 input data → RO)
RO → Mem (CO31: memory WRITE RO → mem[VO=V4])
RO → RI
Ab reset RIAP
Ab set external error [¬PC22] (only when NOT the integrated reader)

Diamond after 0C|0E:

  • PC22 (reader) & channel-2 not overlapping → **B8** (org-phase wait for the next request)
  • ¬PC22 (printer) → 04|06

Signals referenced: PELM (magnetic reader on ch-2), PC22 (reader+integrated controller on ch-2), UAZO (ALU=0, UAZO6), ERAR (printer photodisc parity error), FINO (printer out-of-service), RUF2 (end of photodisc-code compare run-through ≈ RUF26).

Implementation status: 02|03 (output) is wired (state_02). 0C|0E (input) is implemented as state_0c (commit 76d67fe) and verified to route (a RES2 cycle with rSI=0x0crSA=0c) and advance V4. The NE→RO read (CI34) is gated on the reader-input select **PIB21**, which on a channel-2 cycle needs PB22A=0 ⇒ **RET21 && PC221** (ch-2 cycle-assignment stored AND connector-2/channel-2 selected).

Open blocker — channel-2 reader selection. RET21 and PC221 are currently stubs (return 0, signals.h). With them 0, PIB21 can only assert via PB12A = RESI1 && PC121 — i.e. gemu's integrated reader selects on channel 1, not channel 2. So a channel-2 read latches nothing, and the loader's connector-2 read PER (which routes to channel 2 and parks at b8) is unfed. Finishing the channel-2 read therefore needs Phase 4: implement RET21 (ch.132) + PC221 (ch.160) for the channel-2 reader selection and/or reconcile the integrated reader's channel (the RA101→RC01 channel-1 wiring vs the documented LU08→RC02 channel-2), without breaking the channel-1 bootstrap IPL (which the locked bootstrap/initial-load tests guard). Then the reader asserts RC02RES2state_0c per byte, looping via B8, terminating on the card-end (FINIRUF26).


6. Microcode command dictionary (CO / CI / CE / CU / CA), from the index

The per-clock commands the MSL states issue (msl-commands.c), transcribed from the official command index (name · chapter · box · EN). gemu uses the base mnemonic (CO30, CI34, CE16, …) for the indexed COxx1/CIxx1/CExx1.

CE18 214 enable cycle-request reset CE181: G13·05, H17·15
CE19 215 reset channel-3 selection CE191: H10·05, H18·11

Plan correction (CAN1): the COCA TU00N/TU03N map onto these channel-1 timing strobes — gemu emits TU10 at CE09 and TU20 at CE10 (the gemu function names reader_send_tu10/reader_send_tu00 are off-by-name vs the official TU10/TU20). The card-feed/advance is the CE09 (TU10) hook; the read-strobe is the CE10 (TU20) hook. Exact TU00N↔TU10 / TU03N↔TU30 pin correspondence needs the controller schematic.
