Hi all. Some weeks ago there was a thread about blinkenlights and consoles. It was mentioned that a simple piece of hardware (just a few resistors two transistors and 16 LEDs) connected to the printer port of a PC can be brought to life when you run Ersatz-11. Well, it took some time for me to decide whether I should go 'public' with a project I intend to embark on. In short: a *_full_* console on a PC that runs Ersatz-11. The reason to announce the project is to get feedback. Am I on the right track. Have a look, on this page (part of my website) you can find a small ZIP file that contains the draft document that descibes it. http://home.hetnet.nl/~tshaj/pdpsite/homebrew/startframe.html Any comment is appreciated. - Henk.
