Abstract: This is a two-page handler for the OS/8 operating system
which generates and displays alphanumerics on a storage oscilloscope
using a standard VC8E controller. Keyboard paging is used to erase the
screen when it fills up, and optionally, to return to the monitor. Because
of variations in the design of this interface, several versions of this
handler have been developed:
A: Early design with XYZ outputs & non-standard erase
B: Later design using the enable register for erasing
C: Optional modification to A to permit CTRL/C checks
D: Optional modification to B to check for read calls
