It doesn't look quite right on a 16:9 HDMI display with a 16 by 16 font. It lacks the pixellation and CRT blurring. And the cursor is wrong. So @ColinHaynes still has the better. (-:
But it's not bad for a non-X11 framebuffer Unicode-capable terminal emulator on a #RaspberryPi running #NetBSD with the #CommodorePET and BBC character sets.
(That was the BBC font. This is the #CommodorePET font.)
The various tools from #djbwares are operational and run happily as managed services, including local DNS service, some publicfile services, and synchronizing the #RaspberryPi's clock using Bernstein's sntpclock fed into clockadd.
