AN INPUT/OUTPUT TYPEWRITER FOR COMMUNICATING WITH A DIGITAL COMPUTER,

Abstract

An input/output typewriter provides the typist with means of entering data into a computer program through the keyboard and a means of obtaining data from the computer through the printer. An input/output typewriter, which is a modification of a standard Selectric typewriter, has been designed for use with the Phoenix computer through the low-speed buffer or with The MITRE 7030 computer through the System Design Laboratory (SDL) display consoles. The operation of this typewriter is described, and the functions of the major components explained. The appendices give details of the coding and of the system design. (Author)
