FYI, MAME has a working VT100 simulation, and there's also @jeffpar's JavaScript version. Not leaving well enough alone, I'm making one of myself in plain C and SDL2. I intend...
Thank you. We would like to be able to reproduce the original sound to the extent possible, including artifacts introduced by hardware imperfections. If you at some point would have...
I had the idea that TVEDIT/TVDRAW (https://github.com/PDP-10/its/pull/431) used a format with a header before the picture data, but apparently not. I vaguely recall there was some format like that, but...
TVREAD/TVWRIT/FTV/PW use the "Stanford TV format". ``` ; WORD 0: -1 ; WORD 1: BITS PER PIXEL ; WORD 2: WORDS PER LINE ; WORD 3: NUMBER OF FIRST DATA...
Testing math: $\sqrt{x}$
For PDP-10 tapes, we'll also have to consider whether they are 9 or 7 track, little or big endian, etc.
> there are multiple formats for LispM tapes; Symbolics and MIT. I can see that. I see something beginning with some ASCII text strings like ``` PRELUDE VERSION 3 TAPE-SYSTEM-VERSION...
I also see VMS BACKUP tapes. Hoping this will help: https://github.com/kkaempf/vmsbackup
I have some code up on a branch called lars/classify-tape. So far I try to detect: - Big or little endian record length. - SIMH or E11 tape format (odd...
Detection schemes range from heuristic to hacky. I mainly look at the first record, skipping any ANSI label if present. - PDP-10 records should be multiples of 5 or 6...
