Re: PDP11GUI 1.48

Mike,



a new release of PDP11GUI is online, with lots of enhancements:



Is anyone working on a Linux port? I expelled the last of Windows from
the house years ago.

I got this asked permanently!
PDP11GUI should run under Wine. Apparently nobody tried so far, at least 
I got no feedback about.
Perhaps you like to try? I'd jump in on any problems, and write a 
"HowTo" doc page on success.



The links to the bits about interfacing a real 11/70 panel via USB are
broken?

On which page are the broken links?


I would dearly love the schematics and code to build my own!

The "USB adapter" approach is quite outdated, no further docs available.
BlinkenBone is the way to go, see
http://retrocmp.com/projects/blinkenbone
http://retrocmp.com/projects/blinkenbone/blinkenbone-physical-panels/189-blinkenbone-physical-pdp-11-70
http://retrocmp.com/projects/blinkenbone/setting-up-a-blinkenbone-project
and more.

On VCF Mid West in Chicago in september we hold a workshop about 
connecting a 11/70 panel to BlinkenBone, see

Excellent stuff!

Two questions:

Is anyone working on a Linux port? I expelled the last of Windows from
the house years ago.

The links to the bits about interfacing a real 11/70 panel via USB are
broken? I would dearly love the schematics and code to build my own!
