Make console input more solid #24

Closed larsbrinkhoff closed 6 years ago

larsbrinkhoff commented 6 years ago

This rearranges the console input function to first check if the processor is ready, and only then read a character from the console and pass it on.

Previously, there were issues with console input in the automated ITS build, where commands are pushed to the emulator one line at a time. Delays had to be inserted between characters, or else the "CTYI =>" condition would trigger. This new code doesn't need the delays.

This has only been tested with ITS. It would be good if TOPS-10 and TOPS-20 people could do some checking too.
