Computers and operating systems


The laboratory computational facilities are strong enough for our present needs. We have the following computers:

1  PC386 / 33 MHz16 MB RAM     120 MB HDD14" monitor     Ethernet     robot interface
2PC486 / 100 MHz16 MB RAM80 MB HDD14" monitorEthernetrobot interface

There are two operating systems available on all PCs: DOS and QNX real time system. The Motorola computers work uder OS-9 real time operating system. The operating system is selected by the user.

All computers are configured as LAN in the laboratory (thin Ethernet) and this LAN is connected to the LAN of our Institue and directly with the University LAN. It is possible to work with Novell protocol, the UNIX TCP/IP protocol or the special fast QNX protocol. QNX supplies also the TCP/IP protocol.
