This is an emulator for a Plexus P/20 system, which is an Unix server from the '80's. It runs SystemV Unix on a dual 68010 processor mainboard. Adrian Black (from Adrian's Digital Basement) did some videos on the topic of getting one to work: 1 2 3 4 5. This emulator is written in C. While it can be ran as a native program, the version you're looking at right now is compiled to webassembly using Emscripten. It uses xterm.js for the fancy terminal, which is connected to Emscripten via xterm-pty. Plexus emulator © 2024 Sprite_tm and contributors. Licensed under the MIT license.
