Sorry for the bandwidth. Looking for Jos Dreesen who back in 2005 mentioned on
this list that he had documentation on the ECRM OCR system. Please contact me
if you can.
Thanks

I gave a look for Jos for Eugene and discovered that all of the sources for his
Lilith machine emulator were pointed at a dyndns address which is now dead. I
grabbed the emulator and sources and have some version, but would like to see
it hosted somewhere that it can be located.
Hunted for "Lilith Emulator, emulith (with and without Dreesen)" and only found
dead links.
thanks

Was posting to this very list just 2 days ago....
My Lilith emulator "emulith" lives at ftp.dreesen.ch/Emulith, and has been for
some time.
The emulator has not been updated recently, but that might change if I can get
my second Lilith ( on loan from another collector ) to boot and then dump the
HD.
W.r.t. to ECRM cards : I do have all the info, but no way to scan the oversize
sheets of paper...
The 5948 card is the most useful : Serial, printer, digital inputs, and
papertape reader combined in one Omnibus PCB. They use the standard DEC IOT's
5750 and 5751 together form a 80x25 video output. I seem to remember that it is
only active when the 8/E is stopped. It uses DMA to access the core.
The other boards : 5365 video store board, 5017 video reference board, 5018
interrupt mask board. All these are hardware assist cards for the OCR process.
Useless outside the system they were designed for.
5307 / 5308 are not mentioned in the documentation I have.
