Building mirror interfaces for console entry switches and 1053 console printer

SAC INTERFACE FOR ADDING PERIPHERALS TO THE 1130

Restructuring the GUI

I built the code for the mirror Console Entry Switch device and cleaned up the mirror 1132 code, over the course of the afternoon. Plenty of opportunity to clean up and refactor code - one routine to build switches rather than repeating commands for all 16 of the console bit switches.  The switch ends will flip up or down to reflect the value that was read with an XIO Read from the physical CES on the 1131.

For the typewriter (console printer), I set up a nice window that appears to be a form emerging from a picture of the 1053 - clicking the paper either opens an output file or closes an existing file.
