What something like MAME, but for terminals, you mean?
Possibly a terminal's a lot easier to implement if you limit yourself to
something like:
keyboard
character generator
display
I/O module
bell
... but there must be lots of terminals which had various "frills" outside of
this, surely? (I can't think of any personally*, but I'm not a terminal geek :-)
*other than graphics terminals; I'm not sure how much sense it makes to lump
those in with pure character-based devices.
Perhaps this is a silly idea and I just need my
morning coffee!
Interesting article I saw the other day about studies showing that coffee does
nothing to "wake you up"; all it does is provide a hit for people suffering
caffeine withdrawal symptoms. But I think that's OT :)
