BUILD THE CIRCUIT CELLAR TERM-MITE ST SMART TERMINAL .1. HARDWARE

A new microcomputer, called Terminal Management Processor (TMP), is introduced which incorporates most of the processor, video and communication circuits in a single 48-pin dual-in-line package thus allowing to reduce the terminal's chip count while maintaining a high level of performance. The characteristics of the processor are indicated and the construction is described. It is shown how a 21-chip design provides the most needed features of the intelligent video terminal, called the Term-Mite ST. All the features are tabulated and a block diagram and a schematic diagram are furnished.
