Micro-user terminal

Abstract

With the increase in technology concerning microprocessors has come an increase in the utilization of microcomputers at Florida State University. Among the various applications that have arisen is the Micro-User Terminal a hardware and software emulation of a Control Data Corporation 200 User Terminal (200UT). A 200UT consists of a line printer, card reader, and user console which allows users to receive printed files and enter card jobs from a remote facility. Florida State University has had six of these 200UT stations located around campus and in various state government buildings within Tallahassee. They were all directly connected to the CYBER computer communicating synchronously at 4800 baud. One additional 200UT was located in south Florida and dialed up at 2000 baud.
