A versatile low-cost laboratory computer network.
An inexpensive but powerful computer network particularly suited to the research laboratory is discussed. The primary advantages of the system are low cost, flexibility, freedom of choice of manufacturer, and convenience of upgrading. The principal limitations are speed of data transfer and the requirement for a certain level of skill during setting up. The system operates with both the CP/M and MP/M operating systems, but the principles of operation are generally applicable.
