Johnny, I don't know what that means for simh

On an xterm session, there may not be a way to do it.  If you were
running simh from a dumb terminal on a serial port, you could set your
terminal to do 7E1 (even parity), and possibly a matching  "stty
parenb -parodd" , but the arg 'parenb' appears not to be valid from a
window session.

7E1 obviously will not work when the software is expecting MARK parity. stty settings might work, but I would generally assume that simh would remove such things so that it can instead be applied inside the simulation, if wanted.

Of course, right now my mind is drawing a blank, but I'm trying to remember if 7N2 could actually be a trick. But I can't remember if the stop bits equals mark or space.

But if you have a reasonable terminal, it should be able to also properly do MARK parity as well.

You need to have your terminal set to MARK parity.

Looking at the code, it is looking for digits and then cr.

But it is actually looking for  #215, which is 0x8d. Which is CR with
the high bit set. (It also looks for #377 del with HB set)

So what happens is that it just keeps reprompting

I don’t see how that character ever gets into the system. I did ‘set tti
8b’ but it made no difference. I can post the relevant code if needed.

Does "set tti 7p" work for this?
