Programming the nova computer for dataway communication

Abstract

A general discussion of Dataway communication is presented followed by a description of the program sequences required to allow the NOVA computer to communicate with other computers on the Dataway. The Dataway sequences required to service terminals attached to the Dataway via Remote Teleprinter Interfaces are described. NOVA software developed to test the Dataway hardware is also described. The material presented here forms a basis for understanding Dataway communication and has proved invaluable for developing a new version of the ACL-NOVA system to support terminals attached to the Dataway via Remote Teleprinter Interfaces and to provide terminal users access to IBM360 disk storage.
