This is pretty cool. Can you post links for this and
the 3B2 emulator?
Hello Arnold,
Absolutely, I'd be happy to.
The 3B2 emulator is described in more detail here:

The DMD 5620 emulator is documented here:

I had one for a few years at Georgia Tech and I
*loved* the keyboard.
It was a huge productivity boost being able to have multiple windows.
We used them connected to our Vax 11/780 with 4 Meg of memory running
4.[12] BSD (don't remember which) and having multiple DMD 5620s
with multiple windows open on each drove the poor vax to its knees...
I can imagine! The multiplexing code running on the host could get pretty expensive pretty
fast, especially with multiple layers per terminal.
