%A Andrew Allison %T Microcomputer Peripherals - Status and Trends %J Micro %I IEEE %D Oct. 1984 %V 4 %N 5 %P 9-17 %X The mass storage and input/output needs of microcomputer systems are driving the development of a broad range of peripheral products. Fortunately, no one technology is lagging - the capabilities of all products are advancing at compatible rates. %A Roy J. Lahr %T The Non-Death of Paper %J Micro %I IEEE %D Oct. 1984 %V 4 %N 5 %P 18-25 %X The reports of the death of paper have been greatly exaggerated. Not only will computer not halt the flow of paper, they will probably increase it. %A P.D. Noakes %A R. Aish %T A New Peripheral for Three-Dimensional Input %J Micro %I IEEE %D Oct. 1984 %V 4 %N 5 %P 26-35 %K modelling electric lego %X This device consists of intelligent building blocks which may be assembled by hand and then automatically queried by a computer. In this way, a structural database can be quickly and easily created %A Wolfgang Doster %A Richard Oed %T Word Processing with On-line Script Recognition %J Micro %I IEEE %D Oct. 1984 %V 4 %N 5 %P 36-43 %K editing text editors word processing pattern recognition %X Adding a graphics tablet, a stylus, and special software to a personal computer system enables its users to edit text with simple, handwritten commands. %A Ernst Habecotte %A Stefan Cserveny %T A Smart Digital-Readout Circuit for a Capacitive Microtransducer %J Micro %I IEEE %D Oct. 1984 %V 4 %N 5 %P 44-54 %K cmos switched capacitor analog/digital converter ADC transducer integrated circuit %X By incorporating on-chip signal preprocessing, this CMOS switched- capacitor-based A/D converter improves the speed and accuracy with which a microprocessor can sense physical forces such as pressure and acceleration. %A James J. Farrell\ III %T The Advancing Technology of Motorola's Microprocessors and Microcomputers %J Micro %I IEEE %D Oct. 1984 %V 4 %N 5 %P 55-63 %K MC6802 6802 MC6801 6801 M6805 6805 MC68HC11 6800 M6800 mc6800 series %X Starting with the first five-volt microprocessors in 1975, Motorola has gone on to produce an entire family of midrange microcomputers and peripherals designed for high speed operation and maximum efficiency -- - peter bain ...!{allegra|decvax|clyde|ihnp4 }!watmath!wateng!pdbain hard mail: CCNG, CPH-2369A, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ont.
