I now have the emulator back to the point I was before I started integrating the LLVM assembler and linker! This means when the emulator is running it outputs to a virtual 1280x720 text display (80x45 16x16 characters for now) with a very simple monitor program that can read keyboard input. The display and keyboard controller work through CPU interrupts.

I will go into detail on how this works once I get my Medium Blog caught up. I'm still going through early design at this point at a very high level, but I will get way more detailed soon.
