Peter:
We are currently awaiting a university decision to put up the
money for the CSD display system which is presently planned as an 80
terminal Yale system costing about $240,000 including connections to
two computers. We are planning to put it together ourselves buying a
unit from Intel containing somewhat more than the bare memory.
A not quite up-to-date version of the plan is
CSD.PRO[ESS,JMC] in our system, and the quote we have from Intel is
described in INTEL.QUO[1,JBR]. JBR is Jeff Rubin formerly of MIT,
and he is doing the system design. We simply cannot afford the ISI
system, because we believe in lots of displays, so we have no choice
but proceeding as we are. When the money comes, we will take one
last look before we spend it.
