I wouldn't be raising the issue if there weren't. The MIT AI Lab PDP-10 had both a 340 display, and the color scope attached. There is plenty of software for the 340, and I recently found one program using the color scope. Being a timesharing system, there's nothing to preclude both displays from being in use at once. > Adding multiple video display window support is a project unto itself > and dragging the display layer along with it is added complexity.

I wouldn't expect anyone else to do it. I'm glad it's open for discussion. Being a full RGB color device, maybe the XY display layer isn't appropriate for the color scope. I asked Phil Budne about it, and he suggested going another route. > It certainly is beyond the scope of the current sim_video which covers > display graphics and Human Interface details (mouse, keyboard, tablet, > etc..). Oh, there's support for tablets? I'll look into that! _______________________________________________ Simh mailing list Simh@trailing-edge.com http://mailman.trailing-edge.com/mailman/listinfo/simh
