Abstract
A timeshared microcomouter monitor for Intel b 6
microprocessor systems development has been described.
Running on the Sycor 440 Clustered Terminal Processina
System* the monitor provides a virtual environment comoosed
of a console device* eight floorv disk drives* and an b y
m i
c
roorocessor for up to four concurrent users. Virtual
floppy disk files on a five meaabvte movable-head disk
provide the system's primary auxiliary storaoe medium.
Three different levels of access protection are available
for these virtual flopoy disk images. A command 1 a n a u a q e
processor has been included to support nn-line modification
of the virtual environment. System recovery in the event of
a hardware or software failure is also supported by the
monitor.
