DEC VT100 Terminal

This is a PCjs work-in-progress emulation of another 8080-based machine: the VT100 Terminal.

Unlike other VT100 emulators, it is not simply an emulation of VT100 protocols. It is a simulation of the original VT100 machine, running the VT100 Firmware inside the PC8080 CPU emulator.

Admittedly, terminals aren't that useful in isolation, since they're designed to be connected to other (host) machines. But once this PCjs VT100 Terminal simulation is fully operational, you can expect to see it used in conjunction with a variety of other PCjs machines.

For now, play with the Debugger Configuration, which also provides information about VT100 internals and links to other technical resources.
