Photorealistic frontpanels for DEC PDP simulations under SimH

[Jörg Hoppe]

Guys,

there are updates to the photorealistic PDP-8/10/11/15 panel simulations 
for SimH, code name "BlinkenBone".

* Added bigger images for 3000 pixel width screens.

* made PDP-11/70 panel behaviour compatible with the real machine
   (after tests performed at the PDP-11/70 "Miss Piggy" at LCM in Seattle,
   thanks to Rich Alderson & Josh Dersch).
   Oscar Vermeulen's upcoming PiDP1170 replica will also benefit.

* Added Mike Hill's BLINKY animation as PDP-11/70 application.

* Optically enhanced the PDP-10KI10 panel:
   Added rack background of the real KI10 at LCM.

* Merged with SimH code base from march 2018

* Some people want to reanimate a physical panel with "BlinkenBone" too, 
or did already.

   Finally I can supply the hardware, a tested set of BeagleBone Black, 
BlinkenCape and BlinkenBoard.
   I can't get the price below 200€, there's this penalty for manual 
small batch production (including some self-exploit).

As usual, there are precompiled distributions for Win32, Ubuntu x86 & 
x64, Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone.
Just unzip and start some of the shell scripts.




Enjoy,
