Sorry for the delay, I was away over the weekend. My patch to pdp11_dl.c
is temporarily available here: http://minnie.tuhs.org/Z/simh/DL.diff.
Apart from the code to make the DL-11 act like a DC-11, the patch also
allows the device's address to be configured, and allows a carrier
detect flag to be set. Here are some example config lines:
set ttix address=17774000 ; Set the address to be a DC-11
The default address, that of the DL, is 17776500.
set ttix carrier=dc ; Turn on the DC-11 carrier detect bit
Other options are carrier=dl for the DL-11 carrier detect bit,
carrier=off for no carrier detect bit enabled.
set ttox 7b ; Set output to be 7-bit, lowercase
Other options appear to be "uc", "7p", and "8b".
The "show modifiers" command seems to show all the defined modifiers; it took
me a while to understand how to use the information it provided.
Cheers,
Warren
