Memorex Telex International NV has extended its 1174 family of IBM 3174-compatible terminal controllers – built around the Motorola 68010 – with a tabletop model, the 1174-10R. The 32-port device includes all the features and has the same architecture as the larger 1174-10R, launched in May. It supports up to four concurrent host connections using any combination of SDLC, X25 and bisync protocols; 3270 and ASCII users can concurrently access applications from different hosts and the multiple host addressing bisync feature enables up to 128 sessions to be supported, and asynchronous support for up to eight ASCII hosts and devices enables the full range of 3270 functions to be used on ASCII terminals, including access to multiple 3270 host links, multiple logical sessions, windowing and different screen models. The windowing feature supports up to five active sessions from any attached 370 or ASCII host displayed concurrently. The company did not give prices for the new controller.
