DL11 Serial Interface for Display Terminals

PDPjs implements the DL11 component in SerialPortPDP11.

This component is typically instantiated by a Machine XML file using:

<serial id="dl11" adapter="0" binding="print"/>

Most of our PDP-11 machines specify binding="print" to connect the DL11 to a <textarea> that serves as the machine's display terminal.

However, some machines, such as the PDP-11/70 with VT100 Terminal, connect the DL11 to a separate machine (eg, a VT100 Terminal), using the PDP-11 machine's connection property.

Refer to the initConnection() function in the SerialPortPDP11, SerialPort8080, and SerialPort for PCx86 components.
