Remember my Wyse terminal experiment with a DragonFly VM? I mentioned an odd output pause where the screen would stop updating until there was keyboard activity – or occasionally just die. That was an artifact of Virtualbox; running this now in Qemu has no such problem.
I now have a very overcomplicated clock! I’m running GRDC on this Wyse-185 connected as a vt100 to the virtual machine running DragonFly 5.4 in Qemu on my Windows 10 work laptop. It’s at 9600 baud so I can see the numbers morph. I find this aesthetically satisfying.
Nice.
I would totally do this if I had a wyse terminal lying around!
Nice :)
(1) You’ll want to experience rain(6) at 9600bd (the way it was meant to be).
(2) I always run grdc when I want to set my HH:MM mobile phone and bicycle clocks half a minute fast.
