An interface design for a Flexowriter and the D17B "Minuteman" computer

This thesis presents the design of an interface between a Friden Flexowriter and a 0173 "Minuteman" computer. Standard TTL logic modules were employed to construct a device that would allow the Flexowriter to load octal and alphanumeric data into the computer via the keyboard or the paper tape reader, and to allow the computer to drive, through appropriate software, the typewriter and the paper tape punch of the Flexowriter.
