INTRODUCTION There seems to be no doubt that vendors of information display devices are now facing off to do battle for the desktops of knowledge workers worldwide. There are also strong indications that integrated voice/data terminals (IVDTs) will be strong contenders for those desktops. However, actual shipments of IVDTs have remained relatively low through 1984, and the needs of the market have been hard to define. In addition, the market has been dominated by telecommunications-oriented companies. Thus, traditional alphanumeric display terminal manufacturers face a considerable challenge if they wish to participate in the IVDT market. The purpose of this newsletter is to discuss the IVDT in terms of: • Products and market • Users' requirements • Product requirements • Distribution channels The newsletter concludes with an analysis that presents our observations on how display terminal manufacturers can best participate in the IVDT market.

They are: • Asynchronous voice/data terminals • Synchronous voice/data terminals • Voice/data personal computers • Voice/data add-on products for personal computers This newsletter focuses only on the asynchronous and synchronous voice/data terminal section of the larger integrated voice/data workstation market. Integrated voice/data terminals combine the functions of a telephone and a terminal in a single unit. IVOTs do not have mass storage capability and they communicate with a host in order to perform their primary task. This differentiates them from PC-based voice/data products. Integrated voice/data terminals typically consist of the following elements: • Display screen—commonly a CRT • Keyboard—alphanumeric cluster, function keys, cursor control keys, editing keys, numeric pad • Optional dashboard—special function keys, phone support • Telephone handset—either integrated or detached A listing of some of the companies and products competing in the integrated voice/data terminal market are shown in Table 1. - 2 - ^ Table 1 SELECTED IVDT MARKET PARTICIPANTS AND PRODUCTS Asynchronous Synchronous AMBI Corp.—AmbiTerminal, Ambiset DAVOX Corp.—811, 821 AT&T-IS—510A, SIOD, 515 BCT Intelligent Workstation Basic Telecommunications— Datavoice lOr 20 Data General—Dasher D555 InteCom, Inc.—Keystone ITT—Infestation Lee Data—2510, 2520 Liberty Electronics—Freedom 212, 222 Matra Communications—Scanset XL, XLHS Northern Telecom—Displayphone Plus, Displayphone, Meridian 4010, 4020 ROIJM Corp.—Cypress Sydis, Inc.—VoiceStation TeleVideo—Personal Terminal Thomson CSF—XT300, XT300E Zaisan—ES.l Source: DATAQUEST January 1986 The current crop of IVDTs indicates a wide range of approaches to the design and integration of ttie basic elements of ttie product. Their screen sizes range from 7 to 14 inches diagonally. Their keyboards tiave from 55 to more than 100 keys. Some IVDTs do not have a dasht>oard, while others tiave elaborate dashboards containing up to 42 keys. The terminals also provide a variety of methods of integrating the handset and speakerphone.

Some IVDTs, such as those from InteCom, Northern Telecom, and ROLM, are designed to work only on those companies' PBX systems. Other IVDTs are more generic in this respect. Today's IVDTs have varying amounts of ROM and RAM memory. They display characters in matrices ranging from 5 by 7 pixels to 8 by 10 pixels. More importantly, there is a dizzying array of telephone and personal support functions available. These include dozens of phone features, clocks, alarms, calendars, directories of varying size, calculators, touch screens, password or security features, electronic mail, and on-screen help and tutorial features. - 4 - Products lilte Sydis' VoiceStation and DAVOX's Professional DesKset communicate specifically witn certain computer systems.

    Christmas 1984: The Great Apple//c vs. PCjr Battle The Golden Age of Computer Sales surely must have been Christmas 1984. The Macintosh had just been released, Compaq and IBM offered powerful new CPUs, but the real action was a massive Christmas sales battle between the Apple//c and the IBM PCjr. I remember it well, I was working at ComputerLand in Los Angeles, and I was at the very center of the battle. The '84 christmas season would be an inversion of our usual high-end sales efforts. Professional computers from IBM and Compaq were too expensive for the seasonal retail market, and the Macintosh was too new and little software was available. ComputerLand was always intensely busy in December, handling christmas shoppers as well as large corporate customers who had to spend their budgets before December 31. Amidst all this flurry of year-end sales activity, Apple and IBM decided to fight it out in the low end consumer market. The Apple//c was a pretty darn good computer. It was inexpensive, with nice peripherals including a mouse, which had just made its debut on the Macintosh. The //c and the Mac casings were produced by Frog Design, so consumers got some of the cachet of the Mac even if they could only afford a //c. IBM's competition was a notorious flop, the PCjr. It had just been revamped, the "chiclet" keyboard was replaced with a better model, an inexpensive (but blurry) color monitor was standard. Microsoft produced a "sidecar" with extra memory and a Mouse, and bundled it with primitive apps like PCPaint and PFS:Write.

  • Annual Reports of FCCSET Subcommittee Annual Trip Reports To
    Annual Reports of FCCSET Subcommittee Annual trip reports to supercomputer manufacturers trace the changes in technology and in the industry, 1985-1989. FY 1986 Annual Report of the Federal Coordinating Council on Science, Engineering and Technology (FCCSET). by the FCCSET Ocnmittee. n High Performance Computing Summary During the past year, the Committee met on a regular basis to review government and industry supported programs in research, development, and application of new supercomputer technology. The Committee maintains an overview of commercial developments in the U.S. and abroad. It regularly receives briefings from Government agency sponsored R&D efforts and makes such information available, where feasible, to industry and universities. In addition, the committee coordinates agency supercomputer access programs and promotes cooperation with particular emphasis on aiding the establish- ment of new centers and new communications networks. The Committee made its annual visit to supercomputer manufacturers in August and found that substantial progress had been made by Cray Research and ETA Systems toward developing their next generations of machines. The Cray II and expanded Cray XMP series supercomputers are now being marketed commercially; the Committee was briefed on plans for the next generation of Cray machines. ETA Systems is beyond the prototype stage for the ETA-10 and planning to ship one machine this year. A ^-0 A 1^'Tr 2 The supercomputer vendors continue to have difficulty in obtaining high performance IC's from U.S. chip makers, leaving them dependent on Japanese suppliers. In some cases, the Japanese chip suppliers are the same companies, e.g., Fujitsu, that provide the strongest foreign competition in the supercomputer market.

This list was taken from the product Ivory Letters and all other known sources. The bulk of the publication numbers pertain to PC hardware products, as these are the ones in most demand. Some entries are listed in multiple categories because they pertain to each category within which they are shown. The publications shown in this list are only some of the PC publications available; most PC pub­ lications have been assigned 7 -digit part numbers instead of 8-digit form numbers. The follo\ving list is composed of only form numbers, so that you may readily order these publications from Mechanicsburg. Technical publications may be obtained from either an IBM Representative, an Authorized IBI'v1 Dealer, the Technical Directory (1-800-IBM-PCTB), or the IBM Software/Publications Response Line (1-800-327-5711); the latter is normally used by dealers.
