Hi Johnny,
thanks for your reply.
You need to use BUILD to make a new system image, with
your device
driver included.
I know. But it had no effect. I used the KL8E.PA from the OS/8 V3D
sources, dectape 4.
It has a switch called "DELAY". But that seems to be a little delay only. For a
VT78 (whatever that
is).
What I want is fill characters. And I want to be able to configure the stuff via the
"SET" command.
Both are mentioned in the source file, but the source itself doesn't implement it. I
assume that the
fill character support has already been dropped in my version.
Perhaps anyone has an idea where to get older sources? I'm SURE that there once
existed a KL8E
driver which worked with VT05 out of the box.
I don't want to rewrite the driver...
However, you also need to understand many programs do
I/O to the console without going through that device driver, but talks
directly with the console.
I know :(
So it might be that there is no easy solution to your
problem.
If I run in trouble with all that, I will have to go back to 300 baud. The
VT05 can do without fill
characters up to 300 baud. But that's really not what I intended to use the VT05 for.
Appreciate any further hints.
Best wishes,
Philipp :-)
