GRI-909 Simulator Configuration

Introduced in 1969, the GRI-909 was the first system from the newly formed GRI Computer Corporation. Targetted for embedded and process control applications, the machine was very spare, with only one instruction format. The simulator is based on the 1969 preliminary reference manual, as well as a surviving program, the MIT Crystal Physics System.
