This is the README file for the retroutils repository.
This repository contains utilities developed to work with the SIMH
classic computer simulators.
INDEX OF UTILITIES
bin2load: Tool to convert an a.out executable or a memory binary image
file to the format that the "load" command of the PDP-11
simulator understands ("paper tape format")
BlinkenServer: Hardware implementation of a "blinkenlights" display for the SIMH pdp11. Contains a GPIO based version
(to be used with a Raspberry Pi) and a Serial based (to be used with an arduino).
JBlinkenServer: Software implementation of a "blinkenlights" console for the SIMH pdp-11
simh-patches: Patches for the SIMH pdp-11 simulator to use the blinkenlights stuff. NOT RECOMMENDED. Use my own branch of
SIMH at github.com/jguillaumes/simh
vaxtools: Several VMS utilities (idle process killer, clock adjuster, "mainframe like" hex file dumper.
DecnetListener: Pcap-based sniffer for DECNET hello packets.
DecnetListenerPlus: A little bit more sofisticante DecnetListener, written in C++.
DecnetTFT: Arduino sketch to drive a ST7735 based TFT display and an ENC28J60 ethernet adapter to monitor
and display DECNET adjacencies. It works using an Arduino UNO and would probably als work
with a Leonardo or Micro (not tested). I personally use a standalone MCU to run it.
====
xterm-xresources: .xresources file to make xterm similar to a VT220.
