Arbitrary devices can be mapped to the other reserved addresses.
The emulator can be compiled with support for a line printer and an
emulated punched tape reader and punch with the arguments -dprinter and
-dtape respectively. The printer outputs into /dev/usb/lp0 and the tape
punch to tapeout. To (re)set the tape to be read press the insert key at
any input and enter a file name; the input will resume after this. The
printer is mapped to address FFFE in the emulator and the tape reader
and punch to FFFD. If you wish to use a different setup you have to
modify the code yourself.
In Linux the emulator can be compiled with support for a line printer
and an emulated punched tape reader and punch with the arguments
-dprinter and -dtape respectively. The printer prints into /dev/usb/lp0
and the tape files read from and punched to are (re)set using the
settape program. The printer is mapped to address FFFE in the emulator
and the tape reader and punch to FFFD. If you wish to use a different
setup you have to modify the code yourself.
