[Simh] Graphics Terminals and Graphic System Phototypesetters

All, I am using the SimH PDP 11 simulator to learn about the PDP 11/40/45/70 architectures with a particular focus on Sixth and Seventh Edition Unix. I have written a couple of notes based on my experiences/trials that are available at: v6 -
