Experience

  • Emulating a Terminal (Other amazing things)
    https://github.com/flaviodesousa/tv3000br_emulator

    Before the Internet, I stumbled upon this problem: I had to port an application from a DataGeneral minicomputer to a PC. The application used a lot of special features of the tty terminals, which could lead to change most of the application code. Instead, I decided to make a Video BIOS able to mimic the terminal. This approach took only one week and saved months on changing/retesting the application.
