VOUTCH(?)

[Ryan Roth]

I have been playing around with Claude, and decided to see if I could coax it into creating a sort of display driver for the K-1008. I asked that it was modeled in the fashion of KIM-1's OUTCH routine. It isn't the best as it overwrites the A, X, and Y registers, but it works surprisingly well with line wrapping, and page scrolling. There is a very unstable video capture from my K-1008 in the repo providing a short demo:

Looks great! 9x6 , that is different from the MTU supplied 8x8 character SDTXT 

It could do with some modified/additional control characters to mimic the simple glass type uppercase only VDUs of the 80ties  

- CR returns cursor to begin of line (now it is CRLF in one)

- LF moves cursor to next line on same position 

- FF ($0C) clears screen

- BS moves cursor one position back on line

Those are good suggestions. This was a first pass just to see what it could do. I'm not sure it has much use, other than possibly turning the KIM-1 into a TV typewriter, but it is an interesting experiment
