Plug+Play for PDP-11/40 panels - BlinkenBone update

[Jörg Hoppe]

Hi guys,

There is now a special 11/40 adapter board for the BlinkenBone system.
With that you can plug a physical 11/40 panel to the extended SimH 
running on a BeagleBone.

Surprisingly there was some demand for the 11/70 panel adapter, so 
adding the '40 panel may be worth mentioning.

There is no own '40 documentation, see again the 11/70:

If you want it: I made the '40 €10 cheaper then the '70.

All in all there are now at least 6 different (but compatible) ways to 
get a blinking PDP-11's with SimH.

- Connect a real 11/40 or 11/70 panel.

- Run the virtual Java panels for 11/20, 11/40 or 11/70, also with play 
isntruction for the physical ones:
