MiniTerm_VT100-R14.zip

800x600 Resolution; 48x100 screen available to Host.
custom screen font

Video buffer remains accessable to Host while screen saver is
active (per 7:30s user inactivity).

Seperate Baud Rates for Host & AUX Ports.
Larger RS-232 Crossconnect Buffers.

Faster VT Translations/Code Processing

User & Host can enable/disable AUX Port for Printing.

Supports use of Backspace, Delete, Home, End and Arrow Keys.

Status Bar only consumes two rows of text and includes
support for host controlled soft LED indicators common to
Digital Equipment VT terminals.

Tested as functional console on both Cisco & HP
network equipment.

Plus Several Other Enhancements!


Included binaries for 80MHz on 10Hz & 5Hz crystals

r2 = 31 'PC serial port receive line

r1 = 5 'Host device receive line

DemoBoardUSB*

t2 = 30 'PC serial port transmit line
t1 = 4 'Host device transmit line ' HOST
r1 = 5 'Host device receive line


Key combinations not listed via the on screen display:

CTRL+ALT+F12 Disable screen saver until reset

CTRL+ALT+DEL &
CTRL+ALT+. Reset

CTRL+ALT+INSERT &
CTRL+ALT+0 RCSLOW & Full Stop



*DemoBoard's LED on Pin 22 serves as a sleep/heartbeat
indicator while the screen saver is active.

#If the system does not detect a PS/2 keyboard, bridge
two 10k-ohm pull up resistors between Vdd and jack side
of keyboard clock & data.

#Replacing the 1k-ohm resistors between the P8X32A and
the MAX323N with 4.7k-ohm resistors will significatly
reduce the amount of heat expelled by the P8X32A.
The 4.7k-ohm resisters do not trigger the pin's internal
protective clamping diodes.

    ggysbers,

    Welcome to the forum.

    MiniTerm sounds cool, where is the source code?

    Publison,

    Not sure what you mean. The second non-blank line of the thread is a link to a zip file that contains only binaries.

    ggysbers subsequently informed me via PM that the source is not available. I respect his reasons for that.

    Sadly that means it's a bit of a dead end for many.

    Of course, you are correct. I assumed it was an archive.

    Open zip before opening mouth.

    Yes indeed.
