i've heard lots of SNAH ... don't remember RJE as a word ... but do remember CRJE as as a word (aka conversational remote job entry ... cre-jee) as undergraduate i had added tty/ascii terminal support to cp67. the original code did automatic terminal identification for 2741 & 1052 and would use the 2702 SAD command to dynamically assign the correct line-scanner to the port (depending on which terminal it decided it was talking to). I tried to add tty/ascii terminal support in similar manner ... which almost worked. The problem was that while the 2702 allowed the line-scanner to be dynamically set (with SAD command) ... the line-speed oscillator was hard-wired (could quite use a common pool of lines with single dial-up number for 2741, 1052 and tty). This somewhat motivated the univ. to start clone controller processor ... starting out with Interdata/3 ... reverse engineering the channel interface and building channel interface board for the Interdata ... and of course one of the implementation features was to be able to dynamically determine terminal speed. Later four of us was written up as responsible for clone controller business ... some past posts http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/subtopic.html#360pcm Later clone controller business was major motivation for future system effort (and distraction of future system credited with allowing clone processors to gain market foothold): http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/submain.html#futuresys In any case, I also hacked HASP for CRJE implementation ... removed 2780 code (reduce code footprint) and replaced it with 2741 & tty terminal support ... along with editor supporting CMS editor syntax (had to be rewritten from scratch since the CMS environment and HASP environment were/are so different). misc. past posts mentioning one thing or another about HASP http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/submain.html#hasp -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
