Abstract
This thesis describes how an adaptor board was developed to
enable serial devices, such as modems and serial printers operating
on RS-232 signals, to be used in conjunction with the MINITEL
terminal. Furthermore it enables parallel Centronix interfaces to
be Used in conjunction with the MINITEL terminal.
The revolutionary 87C751 microprocessor was fully researched, and
implemented in the project.
Two marketable products emerged during the course of the project:
•
1. The 8031-processor solution
2. The 87C751-processor solution
