AT&T DMD5620 Core

Core logic for an AT&T / Teletype DMD 5620 terminal emulator

Description

The AT&T / Teletype DMD 5620 terminal was a portrait display, programmable, windowing terminal produced in the early 1980s. It came out of research pioneered by Rob Pike and Bart Locanthi Jr., of AT&T Bell Labs.

DMD 5620 Terminal

This project implements the core logic needed to emulate a DMD 5620 terminal, including:

  • ROM
  • RAM
  • WE32100 CPU
  • I/O

This project is written in Rust, and uses Neon Bindings to compile down to a Node.js library for later inclusion in an Electron JavaScript application that will present the user interface and display drawing area.
