VT30-TV
The CHAPI VT30-TV implemented in vt30-tv.exe. The VT30-TV virtual color television
monitor should be connected to a PDP-11 via VT30-H. It shoud be started with desktop
color quality equally 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit.
The CHAPI VT30-TV can be started by means of user defined configuration options as
follows:
vt30-tv.exe –-address=<host(vt30-h) IP address> --port=<host(vt30-h) IP port> --
log=<log file name> --trace_level=<level>
• address – IP address for connection to VT30-H.
• port --- IP port for conectio to VT30-H.
Example:
chapi_vt30tv.exe –-address=127.0.0.1 --port=10020 --log=”chapi_vt30tv.log” --
trace_level=0
The Unibus adapter
The CHAPI_UNIBUS device is implemented in the CHAPI_UNIBUS.DLL library and uses
the CHAPI.DLL and CHAPI_HW.DLL libraries in its implementation. This demonstrates
how CHAPI can connect an external (physical) UNIbus via an adapter. The
CHAPI_UNIBUS implementation is written for the BCI-2004 PCI adapter made by “The
logical company”. The hardware installed on the external UNIbus is added to the emulated
peripherals and can be used in combination with the emulated devices.
The CHAPI_UNIBUS device is provided in binary form. Device sources can be provided
on special request to assist in bus adapter development. Note that the BCI-2004 is end-of-
line as it is not RoHS compatible. In principle, the CHAPI_UNIBUS device can be modified
to work with other bus adapter designs. See chapter (5.3).
The CHAPI_UNIBUS device can be loaded and configured as follows:
load chapi chapi_unibus dll=chapi_unibus.dll trace_level=<trace_level>
set chapi_unibus adapter_dll=chapi_hw
set chapi_unibus adapter_name=bci
set chapi_unibus adapter_instance=0
set chapi_unibus adapter_options=””
where:
- dll and trace_level parameters are common to any CHAPI device;
