A Hardware And Software Interface Between A Graphics Terminal And The Scc 650 Computer, George Irvin Rhine Jr.

Masters Theses

"This paper describes the design of a digital interface between a graphic terminal and the SCC-650 computer. The graphic terminal-computer combination can be used as a stand alone system for small applications or can be used as a satellite processor for a larger system such as the IBM System 360, The interface is designed utilizing DTL NAND type integrated circuits. Its primary functions may be divided into three main categories: (1) to give level conversion, (2) control, and (3) data manipulation. All requests for data transfers are initiated by the computer, the interface then assumes a control mode which handles …
