Abstract
An implementation of a multiuser timeshared operating
system for the Sycor 440 Clustered Terminal Processing
System is described. Utilizing an 8080 microprocessor, this
system provides a virtual operating environment consisting of a console device, eight floppy disk drives, and up to 32 virtual floppy disk images on a five megabyte movable-head disk. In addition, a Centronix serial printer is
incorporated into the system as a edicated device for any
one of up to four concurrent users. The operating system
supports utility programs including an editor, assembler,
and debugger which facilitate microcomputer program
development at the Naval Postgraduate School.
