This release includes a few VT100 improvements in the PC8080 emulator:

  • NVRAM defaults to factory settings, with two exceptions: ONLINE (ON) and ANSI (ON)
  • Simulated correct clocking of the keyboard UART, ensuring accurate cursor blink rate
  • Optimized the CPU run loop, using the CPU's new timer services to drive video updates
  • Disabled the test screen in the VT100's Video powerUp() handler, now that everything's working

That's about it. Future VT100 work will, uh, occur in the future, and will probably start with AVO support (ie, more video RAM, so that more attributes and more lines in 132-column mode are available).
