Well, it's been a year since the last PiDP-8 update. A new software version, in a proper repository, has been set up by Warren. Many thanks not only for that effort, but also for extending the software quite a bit, including Ian's fab lamp emulator. Lamp emulator? Yes. The PiDP has LEDs but the real PDP-8/I had lamps. Lamps glow, but LEDs flicker. If you want, now the PiDP has glowing LEDs.

The repository is here: PiDP-8 repository

Any feedback is welcomed at the PiDP forum: PiDP-8 forum

Thanks Warren, and all others who have contributed!
