Conversion of the D37C Computer for General Purpose Applications

Abstract

The report addresses the problem of reutilizing later Minuteman computers, D37C's, which will become surplus in the near future. Revitalization is assumed optimum by first converting into a general purpose minicomputer. This is done for the D37C by supplying external support systems, control and monitor circuits, and expanded I/O capability. The external systems include power supplies and cooling system and were provided at AFIT by laboratory generators and a fan and pump assembly, respectively.
