I'm prototyping an LED display thingie and was trying to find a
representation of how folks used to do letters on a 7-segment display.
The two historical examples I came up with were the KIM-1 and a Byte
magazine article between about 1977 and 1981. I know there are
several modern Windows fonts out there, but as they differ somewhat, I
was hoping to be compatible with what was commonly done in the late
1970s.
To that end, does anyone have some representation of the KIM's
7-segment renderings or does anyone have a pointer to that old Byte
article about displaying ASCII on 7-segment displays?
Thanks,
