RELISYS COLOR TERMINAL SUPPORTED BY IGC'S VM/386 DOS-BASED MULTIUSER OS Multitasking Program Manager For 80386-Based DOS Computers Extends Power Of Single 386/486 PC To Multiple Desktops Milpitas, CA -- June 1, 1992 -- Relisys today announced that it's TR-170 intelligent color text terminal is supported by the VM/386 DOS-based operating system from IGC, San Jose, CA. IGC's VM/386 uses the virtual 8086 mode of the Intel 80386 CPU chip to create multiple 8086-based virtual machines. The amount of physical memory limits the number of virtual machines. "Any business looking for an economical way to decentralize data processing will find the Relisys' economical TR-170 intelligent color terminal running VM/386 system software the perfect price/performance solution," said Janson Wu, vice president and chief operating officer at Relisys. Relisys has been working with IGC as a strategic partner to ensure compatibility of the TR-170 color terminal with the VM/386 operating system and preserve the most desirable features of the software. This includes easy 15-minute installation, the ability to run applications concurrently in the background, superb resolution for color graphics programs and many flexible user options. VM/386 has won the PC Magazine Technical Excellence Award for 386 software technology and its editor's choice award. Each application running the VM/386 environment can have up to 64OK of conventional memory, plus optional and extended memory, thus eliminating the "RAM cram" often encountered when networks and large applications are run simultaneously. In addition, VM/386 is noted for its power and flexibility. VARs and VADs can tailor the size and type (conventional, expanded and extended) of RAM memory in each virtual memory, and can also specify the amount of processing power and prioritize tasks on the central computer. Patricia Justusson, IGC's product manager, said, "Our VM/386 is often called unbreakable by those who have tried--and crashed--other operating environments. Add this software to the incredibly reliable Relisys TR-170 terminal, and VARs and VADs have a package that they can sell and almost never have to service." The Model TR-170 VGA color text terminal comes standard with a 57.6K baud rate for a faster screen update or an optional 76.8K baud rate for multiport I/O cards than can support the higher rate. The Relisys terminal also features 64K of RAM that provides multipage support for DOS and OS/2 operating systems and M screen support for UNIX operating systems. This multipage feature will store up to eight pages of applications sessions and allow users to the hot key between those sessions. In addition, the terminal includes ANSI and PC Term emulation modes that residently support UNIX and XENIX applications and most major multiuser DOS operating systems. The Software Link joins the list of a half-dozen major software manufacturers already supporting the Relisys terminals with powerful development software. (LIST) The Model TR-170 color terminal supports VGA text mode and features a 14-inch non-glare CRT with 0.31mm dot pitch and a P22 phosphor flicker-free display. The refresh rate is 70Hz. The TR-170 is available now at a suggested list price of $895.00. Relisys also offers the VGA text mode compatible Model TR-65 gray scale terminal, which is available at a suggested list price of $545.00 each. Both terminals are backed by a 12-month standard warranty. Extended warranties, such as two years for end user and VAR customers, are also available at additional cost.
