"I am Setun 70": A Ternary Computer Emulator in Rust

The author presents an emulator for the Soviet ternary computer 'Setun 70', implemented in the Rust programming language. The article criticizes the poor quality of most existing publications on this architecture, noting that authors often confuse the ternary number system with three-valued logic and make factual errors regarding the history of the 'Setun' family of machines. The piece aims to restore historical accuracy and provide technically reliable information about the 'Setun 70' architecture. The author shares the emulator's source code, allowing for a deeper understanding of the principles behind this unique computing system, which utilized ternary code instead of the standard binary. The publication is aimed at retro-computing enthusiasts and developers interested in the history of computer architecture and low-level programming in Rust.
