You don't see other things because there is nothing else on the terminal, as I said SweetAda is essentially a framework and the code does very little. The main window of QEMU does display the VGA screen of the emulated platform, which is not used. IOEMU should display a pulsing 8-bit register (the CPU is in a loop counting forever), but if it didn't maybe there are some GUI problems yet to solve.

Thanks for your advice.
I'll try and investigate further.
