My Lilith emulator "emulith" lives at ftp.dreesen.ch/Emulith, and has been for
some time.
The emulator has not been updated recently, but that might change if I can get my second
Lilith ( on loan from another collector ) to boot and then dump the HD.
W.r.t. to ECRM cards : I do have all the info, but no way to scan the oversize sheets of
paper...
The 5948 card is the most useful : Serial, printer, digital inputs, and papertape reader
combined in one Omnibus PCB. They use the standard DEC IOT's
5750 and 5751 together form a 80x25 video output. I seem to remember that it is only
active when the 8/E is stopped. It uses DMA to access the core.
The other boards : 5365 video store board, 5017 video reference board, 5018 interrupt
mask board. All these are hardware assist cards for the OCR process. Useless outside the
system they were designed for.
5307 / 5308 are not mentioned in the documentation I have.

Sorry for the bandwidth. Looking for Jos Dreesen
who back in 2005 mentioned on this list that he had documentation on the ECRM OCR system.
Please contact me if you can.
Thanks
Eugene
I gave a look for Jos for Eugene and discovered that all of the sources for
his Lilith machine emulator were pointed at a dyndns address which is now dead. I grabbed
the emulator and sources and have some version, but would like to see it hosted somewhere
that it can be located.
Hunted for "Lilith Emulator, emulith (with and without Dreesen)" and only found
dead links.
thanks
Jim
