    While I was looking for new items in the BITSAVERS archive, I noticed that a large source repository of GSX-80 and GSX-86 files was added in August 2023.

    I wrote a small script to extract the devices driver names for GSx-80 sytsem (all are written in RATFOR) and created the list below.

    Maybe this is interesting for some guys here (some time ago, I wrote a driver for my HP 2648 terminal and now I see that there was one for the 2647, but it was not available at the time).

    Greetings

    Thanks for pointing this out Martin. Could you share your HP 2648 terminal driver?

    As posted some time ago, the sources of my own drivers can be found in individual ZIP archives at the end of this page:

    Alas, I wasn't here "some time ago"! Thank you for the re-reference.
