I successfully installed pdp10 on a PI5 connected to Oscar's front panel.  Looks good and works good as well.

I installed the rpdp on my Win11 laptop in WSL2 (Ubuntu 24) an was able to use rpdp con, telcon, vt52, & tvcon.  I haven't tried the others.

I then got brave and installed pdp10 on the laptop.  
  1. had to move the pdp10 directory so the clone would work.
  2. rpdp xxx still works
  3. had to put /opt/pdp10/bin in my PATH before the /opt/rpdp10/bin entry
  4. pdpcontrol start 1 pops up a DPY Type 340 window 
  5. manually started a console (pdp con or pdp telecon) but it never shows DSKDMP
What am I doing wrong?  Or, am I missing a step?
