/me goes back to working in a :term inside neovim inside tmux inside a mosh session inside a glorified vt100 emulator, while absolutely not crying about applications being ignorant of presentation layer for “portability”

Have you ever run a BLIT? It's basically a windowing system over a
serial line except the protocol is really smart, it knows that the
terminal knows how to do a bunch of stuff.

In my opinion, the best serial line terminal ever built.

I was wondering why you???d pick this term of all historical terms to emulate. Now I have a terrible urge to try my hand at an ADM-3A.

Which just reminds me of this teletype 33 ad: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Teletype_Model_33_Terminal_June_1974.jpg

Hello all,

I've recently been improving the AT&T/Teletype DMD 5620 simulator I
wrote a few years ago. It can now run either the 8;7;3 or 8;7;5
firmware. It also now supports executing a local shell or connecting
directly to a physical or virtual tty device. It runs natively on Linux
or macOS with X11 or Wayland, but I would love help creating a Windows
version if you're a Windows programmer (I am an occasional Windows
user, but I am not at all knowledgeable about Windows programming).

Full details are available here: https://loomcom.com/3b2/dmd5620_emulator.html

The source code is here: https://github.com/sethm/dmd_gtk

Many thanks go to my friend Sark (@crtdude on Twitter) for tracking
down the 8;7;3 firmware and dumping it for me. I'd also like to thank
Mike Haertel for helping find bugs, providing feedback, and inspiring
me to get it working with Research Unix in addition to SVR3.

Feedback, bug reports, and pull requests are all welcome!

-Seth
