The SSU feature is woefully underdocumented and the patent gives you _some_ information, but it's missing all of the details. I hope to break this part out into a project of its own.
I am 100% certain a VT420 will never be able to support more than two sessions, as the ROM explicitly has a ton of checks that look like "if session1 { ... } else { ... }". Unfortunately your best bet here would be putting a more advanced terminal multiplexer behind your VT420 and then making the F4 key a full passthrough (disabling the native session switcher).
- geocar 1y agoCheers. I haven't had a VT420 in a few decades, but I remember wondering about its built-in multisession support (I never saw it in action)
- mmastrac 1y agoThe emulator supports it, though there's a few bugs in it so you can try it out. The animated GIF in the README demonstrates it too :) I would call the splitscreen multisession... gimmicky at best? The two-session version is alright, but juggling windows is not great in general.
