A Comparison of Two Hardware Implementations of A Crew Selection System.

Abstract

A number of disadvantages existed within the Apple IIe version of the Landing Craft Air Cushion vehicle Crew Selection System (LCSS). These disadvantages included slow processing speed, memory constraints, and cumbersome test administration. The system was also less conducive to future test development. The LCSS was upgraded to an IBM PC compatible Zenith 248 system. A comparison of 48 single and composite subtest scores between like measures of the two systems yielded significant positive correlations (p < .0001). The majority of the correlations ranged from .60 to .89. A small percentage of the associations were less robust. Overall, however, the Apple IIe and Zenith 248 versions of the LCSS proved to be comparable testing systems.
