Hello all. I see Jeurgen is working on a
cluster - apparently several or many display terminals. The concept is not
new. Sanders Associates did that on the Saturn V system for NASA in
1965. I was a member of that team for several years. Later did the
same for Kaiser Hospital in San Francisco. Later did the same for Mayo
Clinic. Later did the same for GTE Sylvania where I designed the first
raster scan monitor for the U.S.Navy - later sold
to German Navy.
And now, that is exactly what I
will be presenting at the Microprocessor Forum Expo 2001 in San Jose. What
advantages are there for 128 Users??????
1. One power supply NOT 128
2. One RTC NOT 128
3. In my case - 2 Processors, NOT 128
4. KBytes of Programs NOT Mbytes
5. One or two Hard Disk Drives, NOT 128
6. Several Modems - NOT 128
7. One Disk backup (Iomega), NOT 128
8. System Integrity - NOT prone to VIRUS
Intrusion
9. Centralized Data Distribution
10. Maintainability
11. No Visable wait for data response.
12. And list goes on-----
Regards,
Dick Hartney
