VCF East 2.0, Day one.

I'm pretty familiar with the VT-11 (GT-40) instruction set, and would be
able to write a port
of that code to run on a HP1350 vector box.

Does anyone have the source code?

I've been looking at the PDP-1 source, but I don't know the PDP-1 very
well (yet), nor do
I understand its display system. VT-11 code might be a much shorter
learning curve for me
to port to the HP's.
