This looks like some really nice work. I used a BLIT at UW Madison
and loved it, it was way more useful than a terminal and way less
fuss than a full blown windowing system. Felt like the knee of the
curve. All of that over a serial line, that's impressive.
I dunno, but I bet that Rob trys it out just for a trip down memory
lane.

Hello all,
I've recently been improving the AT&T/Teletype DMD 5620 simulator I wrote a few
years ago. It can now run either the 8;7;3 or 8;7;5 firmware. It also now supports
executing a local shell or connecting directly to a physical or virtual tty device. It
runs natively on Linux or macOS with X11 or Wayland, but I would love help creating a
Windows version if you're a Windows programmer (I am an occasional Windows user, but
I am not at all knowledgeable about Windows programming).
Full details are available here: https://loomcom.com/3b2/dmd5620_emulator.html
The source code is here: https://github.com/sethm/dmd_gtk
Many thanks go to my friend Sark (@crtdude on Twitter) for tracking down the 8;7;3
firmware and dumping it for me. I'd also like to thank Mike Haertel for helping find
bugs, providing feedback, and inspiring me to get it working with Research Unix in
addition to SVR3.
Feedback, bug reports, and pull requests are all welcome!
-Seth
