Found the answer in the Alice Recoque Wikipedia page (the Mitra 15 designer). It has been used in the E10N4 digital pabx...

A readme and repo that looks authored by an actual human. Congrats on shipping, that looks pretty cool!

So good project... Maybe put a link with histelfrance.fr ? I wonder which digital pabx uses the Mitra family, E10N1 ?

Ah, another "télécommunicant"!

I briefly worked on 11F centers back in the 70s and 80s, not E10 family, but in 1999, I salvaged some AM2901 chips from Mitra CPU boards that were headed for the scrap heap. They came from either the Yellow Pages or Transpac in Rennes facilities—it was a hectic time!

As for information sources, I found doctoral theses from CEA, a scientist from INRIA kindly pointed to INRIA historical resources and current work [0]. There are as well SNCF, EDF or BULL historical resources, a museum in Denmark, ex USSR documents but for creating a Mitra simulator nothing beats Pascal Chour's website.

What is missing for a SIMH simulator is original software to make sure the simulator is accurate (currently it is not).

This is still a pre-Alpha version.

If you have memories or documents about the Mitra-15 computer, please can you share them?
