Hello,

The first part of Jim Blinn's talk has some intresting technical details
about him using a PDP-9 with a Type 339 display:

I found this report "An Executive System for a DEC 339 Computer Display
Terminal".

It has a large software listing, so maybe it can be made to run.  The
339 manual is on bitsavers.  Essentially, the display has its own 12-bit
processor.  Normally I'd be all over this, but I have a huge stack of
other things to do.
