Title A name given to the resource Cybernex XL display video terminal Subject The topic of the resource computer hardware: display video terminal Description An account of the resource Historical Context: In the 1950s, the operators of mainframe computers used dedicated consoles, hardcopy terminals (such as teletypes and modified electric typewriters), and a variety of cathode ray tube (CRT) displays to run and control data processing tasks. Computer consoles typically featured rows of switches and associated lights that allowed operators to run and control the execution of programs, analyze data stored in memory, and to control other hardware interfaced with computers. Hardcopy terminals were used to print on roles of paper information such as operator's commands, computer responses, and other console messages. Finally, CRTs were used to displaying information (e.g. memory contents) in a rudimentary graphical form. The "glass teletype" that appeared in the mid-1960s was the first attempt at providing a single device allowing computer operators to run their systems having all the essential control and data processing information displayed on a screen. However, it was not until the early 1970s, when the first "dumb" video display terminals, featuring limited editing capabilities, were introduced (one of the earliest such terminals was the 7700A Interactive Display Terminal introduced by Lear Siegler Inc. in 1973). All these terminals shared the same basic keyboard-display-interface design: each featured a keyboard, a CRT screen that could display full sets of alphanumeric characters, and each had the capability to send and receive data via communication lines to a remote host computer. By the mid-1970s, video terminals became the most effective human-computer interface devices and they remain so until the mid-1980s, when they were displaced by microcomputers that could be interfaced with mainframes and minicomputers to perform terminal jobs in addition to microcomputing tasks, when PC monitors had become a common occurrence worldwide. In Canada, the design and manufacturing of computer display terminals began in the early 1970s. Comterm Inc. (Montreal), Cybernex Ltd. (Ottawa), Electrohome (Kitchener), Lektromedia (Pointe Claire), NORPAK (Kanata), TIL Systems Ltd (Toronto), and Volker-Craig (Waterloo) were some of the pioneering companies. Cybernex Ltd. was an Ottawa-based manufacturer of video terminals, co-founded in 1974 by James Gadzala, Colin Turner, Bruce Douglas, and David Londry. The company's first product was the D1600 digitizing video terminal for the aero photogrammetry industry. In the following years, the company introduced a broad line of display terminals including the LTL Series (1975), LGR Series (1976), TH Series (1977), MDL-100 Series (1978), XL-80 Series (1980) as well as RB, RG, RH, SA, and XM Series. The terminals offered emulation of several popular terminal models from vendors such as Adds, Basic Four, Burroughs, Data General, Digital Equipment Corp., Hewlett-Packard, Hezeltine, Honeywell, IBM, and Lear Siegler. Initially, the company's main clients were large Canadian corporations (including Bell Canada) and government departments. In 1982, Cybernex entered the US market. In addition to its video display terminals, the company also manufactured the LC3 microcomputer for a range of applications including software development, industrial controllers, and systems for dedicated applications. The computer was built around the Motorola 6809 microprocessor and was offered with the Cymon operating system and Cybol programming language also developed by Cybernex. Cybernex introduced its second generation of microprocessor-based highly successful video display terminals--the XL Series--in 1980. In their basic configuration, the XL terminals offered 12 inch green screens which could display 24 lines of 80 characters, and 82-key QWERTY-style detachable keyboard featuring a numeric keypad. The displays' hardware was controlled by the Motorola 6800 8-bit microprocessor. Options included white or amber screen with the 25th status line as well as an advanced keyboard featuring 107 keys including two rows of function keys. The museum has an XL-8025 terminal, serial number 81024539, with an 82-key keyboard. Note: the label attached to the bottom of the terminal has a handwritten model number XLGR-1 while the terminal's printed circuit board has  XL-8025 etched on it.

Title A name given to the resource DATAR Archive Subject The topic of the resource <img src="http://museum1.eecs.yorku.ca/www_decorations/datar_logo.jpg" alt="Nortel_logo" width="25%" height="25%" border="0" /> An archive of documents on Digital Automatic Tracking and Remoting System (DATAR) created by Commander James (Jim) Louis Belyea, Royal Canadian Navy. Description An account of the resource DATAR (Digital Automatic Tracking and Remoting) was a comprehensive digital electronic system developed at the Royal Canadian Navy between late 1940s and early 1950s. Its purpose was to assist and aid naval command during complex naval warfare situations caused by large volume of high speed targets (e.g. airplanes and submarines). DATAR was to provide the command with a complete, up-to-date, and accurate picture of the tactical and strategic situations. It was to rapidly analyze data received from a variety of sources and to provide the necessary information and issue commands to all the ships linked by the DATAR network. DATAR was a brainchild of Royal Canadian Navy Lieutenant  James Louis Belyea. The first known proposal for the system was summarized in his  April 15, 1948 document entitled DATAR. A successful demonstration of DATAR  took place in Fall 1953 on Lake Ontario using a three-ship convoy  consisting of two Bangor-class minesweepers (HMCS Granby and Digby) and the third ship simulated by a shore station on the Scarborough Bluffs overlooking Lake Ontario. At the heart of the demonstrated DATAR system were three special-purpose digital computers built by Ferranti Electric Ltd, Toronto, and installed on the ships. Canadian, American and British military observing the demonstration were impressed with the system's performance and potential. It is difficult to overestimate DATAR's historical significance. The project contributed to the creation of the first  Canadian computer companies (e.g. Computing Devices of Canada), originated the first digital electronics research centers within Canadian companies (e.g. the Electronics Division of Ferranti Electric Ltd.), and spawned the first generation of digital electronics engineers. DATAR also resulted in the development and demonstration of the first wireless computer communications network and of the installation and operation of an electronic digital computer equipment in a mobile environment. It introduced novel digital transmission equipment, input and display devices  (the trackball and a new generation of radar tracker displays). In the words of Arthur Porter, director of research at Ferranti Electric's Electronics Division, DATAR was "the most advanced system of its kind in the world." Now, DATAR symbolizes Canada's early entrance into computer age at the end of the 1940s. In 1958, due to claimed high costs of development, the construction of the full scale DATAR system was canceled. Some historians conjectured that all the technical reports on DATAR have either been destroyed or lost. However, in 2021, Belyea estate donated J.L Belyea's archive to YUCoM. At least this collection of documents offers a glimpse into the creation of DATAR -- one of the most significant  Canadian technological achievements.

In the second half of the 1980s, the company shifted its attention to the development and manufacturing of products for harsh environments. A wide range of products based on VME bus architecture was offered for applications in areas such as air traffic control, tactical command, control and communication, flight management for airborne applications, ground tactical support, process control, and robotics. The products included single-board computers, memory modules, intelligent peripheral controllers, special function modules, and I/O modules. By 1993, when DY-4 went public, the company was already a technological leader in the ruggedized embedded computing market providing open systems board-level products, support systems and related software to harsh environment systems integrators. DY-4 products found their way to new generations of tanks, submarines, airplanes and spacecraft in many countries around the world. The company entered the 21st century retaining its premier position as embedded computing solutions provider in the defense and aerospace industries. In 2004, after a series of acquisitions, DY-4 business was bought from Solectron (Milpitas, Ca) by defense contractor Curtiss-Wright Corp. (Roseland, N.J.).

Title A name given to the resource DY-4 Systems Collection Description An account of the resource DY-4 Systems Inc. was an Ottawa-based high technology company founded by four engineers Garry Dool, Terry Black, Kim Clohessy, and Steve Richards in 1979. In the early 1980s, DY-4 designed and manufactured a variety of products including microcomputers (the ORION series), graphics terminals, and STD bus board level products (including single-board computers). In the second half of the 1980s, the company shifted its attention to the development and manufacturing of products for harsh environments. A wide range of products based on VME bus architecture was offered for applications in areas such as air traffic control, tactical command, control and communication, flight management for airborne applications, ground tactical support, process control, and robotics. The products included single-board computers, memory modules, intelligent peripheral controllers, special function modules, and I/O modules. By 1993, when DY-4 went public, the company was already a technological leader in the ruggedized embedded computing market providing open systems board-level products, support systems and related software to harsh environment systems integrators. DY-4 products found their way to new generations of tanks, submarines, airplanes and spacecraft in many countries around the world. The company entered the 21st century retaining its premier position as embedded computing solutions provider in the defense and aerospace industries. In 2004, after a series of acquisitions, DY-4 business was bought from Solectron (Milpitas, Ca) by defense contractor Curtiss-Wright Corp. (Roseland, N.J.). Acquisition: The objects in the collection have been donated or acquired from: Dave Dunfield, Mati Sauks, and Zbigniew Stachniak.
