Friends,

there are updates to the photorealistic PDP-8/10/11/15 panel simulations
for SimH, code name "BlinkenBone".

* Added bigger images for 3000 pixel width screens

* made PDP-11/70 panel behaviour compatible with the real machine
  (after tests performed at the PDP-11/70 "Miss Piggy" at LCM in Seattle,
  thanks to Rich Alderson & Josh Dersch).
  Oscar Vermeulen's upcoming PiDP1170 replica will also benefit.

* Added Mike Hill's BLINKY animation as PDP-11/70 application.

* Optically enhanced the PDP-10KI10 panel:
  Added rack background of the real KI10 at LCM.

* Merged with SimH code base from march 2018

* Some people want to reanimate a physical panel with "BlinkenBone" too,
or did already.

  Finally I can supply the hardware, a tested set of BeagleBone Black,
BlinkenCape and BlinkenBoard.
  I can't get the price below 200€, there's this penalty for manual
small batch production (including some self-exploit).

As usual, there are precompiled distributions for Win32, Ubuntu x86 &
x64, Raspberry Pi and Beaglebone.
Just unzip and start some of the shell scripts.


Enjoy,

Joerg
