INPUT-OUTPUT LOGIC AND EQUIPMENT FOR THE M3 COMPUTER

Design and construction. of input and output logic and equipment were required for the completion of the M3 computer system. The peripheral equipment permits communi-cation with the computer to be established and maintained. The peripheral equipment includes a 500 characters per second photo-electric tape reader, a 100 characters per second tape punch and a 10 characters per second electric typewriter. Due to the inherently slow speed of the peripheral equip-ment buffer registers are used to avoid computer tie-up for longer than necessary. A manual keyboard has been produced to prepare program and data tapes. Programming for the computer and some subroutines are described.
