Hi,
I just try to get a VT05 working with my PDP-8/e.
Having a tuned KL8E interface at 2400 baud.
I need fill characters....
Found a KL8E.PA in the OS/8 V3D sources. It is a two page handler and works.
But how do I get my system to use it as terminal handler? Or is there another one?
Best wishes,
Philipp :-)
You need to use BUILD to make a new system image, with your device
driver included. 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.
So it might be that there is no easy solution to your problem.
