Internals of the video graphics terminal. [Stanford-SLAC]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7109324
The Stanford-SLAC Video Graphics Terminal (VGT) is an experimental computer terminal which is intended to provide low-cost, high-quality graphics and programable text processing by taking advantage of the latest memory and microprocessor technology. The basic characteristics of the terminal and an overview of the internal organization have already been described in SLAC-PUB-1715, and the reader is encouraged to have read that document before proceeding. This technical memo is a more detailed description of the prototype that has been constructed; logic drawings and program listings are included as appendices. This is NOT intended to be the instruction manual for the assembly of a ''VGT kit,'' and any attempt to mechanically reconstruct the VGT using this information and without a thorough understanding of the entire device is most vigorously discouraged. 11 figures.
