I have started on this. Assign me if you like.

larsbrinkhoff commented 3 years ago

I think this is close to the SAIL hardware.

So far so good. CC @bgbaumgart data-disc

I'm going to have to mess with the DKB device too, to provide many keyboard inputs.

larsbrinkhoff commented 3 years ago

From the TDS manual on Bitsavers. A sample of the 5x7 font. The SAIL hardware would have the extended ASCII characters added.

tds1 tds2

Bonus feature: control panel. Bruce, do you recognize this? tds3

larsbrinkhoff commented 3 years ago

I compared the font sample above with the Knight TV characters, and many match exactly. Some have minor differences.

I have something that is like 80% working now. Various display issues, maybe some in the sim_video part. dd

larsbrinkhoff commented 3 years ago

After an - ahem brief - hiatus, I'm picking this up again. A sim_video problem has been fixed, so now multiple DD windows will update properly. I added code to get keyboard events from the DD windows even if the III is disabled (previously all events went through the vector display library).

A new problem pas popped up: it's no longer possible to have both III and DD displays.

When I try to log in, some previously unimplemented display commands are used. They will be added soon.

Rcornwell and LarsB

Acknowledged - - I am still working on SAIL disk images but I will be invisible for all of October while touring for four week in Scotland and Wales. International travel during a pandemic is a red tape nightmare - we have had our vaccinations and booster shots but still have to test and re-test frequently.
