The NCRDECISIONMATEVisthefirstofanewgeneration of NCRbusiness/professional personal computersystems. Itisdesignedtoactasthecontrolcenterforsystems thatfulfill awiderangeofuser requirements. Industrystandardinterfaces are usedtoprovidetheuser withawide selectionofperipherals. Thissystemapproachprovidesapowerful tooltouseinbusinessapplications, scientificcalculations,and invarioustechnological fields.
The processorand allsupportinglogic,CRTscreen, disk drives,powersupply, and I/Obus are allintegratedintoasinglecabinet:this providesasystemthatrequires theminimumof spaceandconnectingcables.The separatekeyboardisconnected
by acoiled cable totheprocessor unit.
Mostoftheelectronics are containedonthecontrollerboard, where possible LSIcomponentsare usedproviding ahighdegree
ofreliability. Includedon this boardare theZ80microprocessor, DMA,flexible disk controller, keyboardcontroller, and64Kbytes RAM.Also, theI/Obus, completewithsevenuser accessiblesockets, isintegratedintothecontrollerboard. Twoadditionalsockets areavailableforthefactoryinstallationofsome features. In thisconfigurationtheNCRDECISIONMATEVusesCP/M®-80 operatingsystem softwareandany compatible8-bitapplicationpackages. A16-bit board, withanIntel8088microprocessor, canbe connectedtothecontrollerboardmaking thecomputerintoadual 8/16-bit system.In this configurationthe system can stilluseCP/M-80and8-bit applicationsoftware, or itcanuseeitherCP/M-80orMS-DOS™operatingsystem software andany compatible16-bit applicationpackages.

Various kits areavailabletoenhancethe capabilities or changethe hardwareconfigurationoftheNCRDECISIONMATEV.Manyof thesekitscanbepluggeddirectlyintothe I/Obusby the user:others require installationby aserviceengineer.
Integrated FixedDisk
Thiskit(K012)providesfortheintegrationofa fixed(Winchester) diskdrive. The kitincludes thenecessary changesforthepower supply.Wheninstalled, thesystemhas one fixed disk drive
(capacity10Mbytes)andone flexible disk drive (capacity320/ 360Kbytes).
SecondIntegrated FlexibleDisk
These kits upgrade anNCRDECISIONMATEVfromasystem with oneflexibledisk drive toasystemwith two flexible diskdrives.Kit K018 isforsystems producedintheDINcolorscheme, kitK019 isforsystems intheCorporateAppearancePlan(CAP)colorscheme.
MemoryExpansion Modules
These kits(K200,202, and 208)canbeinstalled, by theuser,

COLORCRT
The 12-inch colorCRT displays 25 horizontallineswith80 charac
ters perline. Inthegraphics mode, theCRT isallpointsaddressablewith640pixels horizontallyand400pixelsvertically. Charac
ters are ina 6x9 matrixon an 8x16 box. The CRT can displayeight colors;black,white, red, green,blue,yellow, magenta, and cyan. The selection ofcoloriscontrolledbythesoftware. Screenrefreshisat56.06Hz, thehorizontal frequencyis24.27 KHz.
The adapter(K210) provides an interfacebetweenthecomputerand Centronics-compatible(parallel) printers.
The adapterconsists ofasmallprintedcircuit board, containing an8255programmablecommunicationsinterfaceand supportlogic,aconnectingcableandplug, and a housing thatallowsdirectconnectiontotheI/Obus oftheNCRDECISIONMATEV.
