Hello,
I'm using the upcoming SIMH KA10 simulator to restore MIT's Incompatible
Timesharing System. This is a multiuser system. As such, there is a
need for multiple user interfaces. The AI lab PDP-10 had many display
and input devices:
- Teletypes and display terminals. These are simulated with TMXR lines.
- DEC 340 CRT display. Phil Budne wrote a simulation using a GUI window.
- SAIL keyboard from Stanford. I updated the 340 simulation to take
keyboard events and feed them to this keyboard simulation.
- DEC color scope. An experimental color CRT display.
- Sylvania Data Tablet. Using a stylus to input X and Y coordinates.
- Vidissector, digitizing camera input.
I would like to be able to open up more windows: one for the color
scope, and perhaps another one for the tablet. As far as I understand,
sim_video is limited to just one window.
I also have a need for video input, but maybe that's beoynd the scope of
this thread.
Any suggestions?
