I thought that had been done. I distinctly
remember a graphics device
emulation that implemented persistence, something I have since applied in
another place (Cyber console emulation). I forgot the author???s name,
but I thought it was for SIMH and specifically GT40 emulation.
I too thought SIMH had it. And E11 certainly does (in all versions except
Linux -- WLINK still can't do ELF dynlinks, last I checked). Obviously, the
lunar lander is the "killer app" for the VT11.

Doug Gwyn made MAJOR contributions to the VT11/VS60 simulation.
It also has "Type 30" support for the PDP-1.
I started (but never finished) "Type 340" support.
Someone was looking at (re)integrating it with modern SIMH. I'd
encourage anyone who works on this to use some modern display layer
(e.g. SDL), rather than the primative adaptation layer(s) I wrote.
