              The Montana Mini-Computer / MTMC-16 Homepage

              The MonTana state Mini Computer is a virtual computer intended to
              show how digital computation works in a fun and visual way.

              The MTSC combines ideas from the PDP-11, MIPS, Scott CPU, Game Boy
              and JVM to make a relatively simple 16-bit computer that can
              accomplish basic computing tasks.

              The computer is displayed via a web interface that includes all the I
              /O such as console and display, visual representations of the
              computer state, and a built in code editor to construct and debug
              software for the computer.
