The Atari Blit
By David Blythe and Dave Galloway
Room GB 221
Time: 12:05
Date: Friday, Feb. 7th, 1986
Abstract
The Blit terminal, developed at AT&T Bell Laboratories, is
a bit-mapped display terminal that supports an overlapped
window environment under UNIX. Designed 4 years ago, it is
commercially available for about $10000.
The Atari 520ST is a new personal computer available for
less than $1400. It contains, except for a few minor
differences, the same hardware as the Blit does. We worked
on converting the Blit software to run on the Atari 520ST.
This talk will describe the two machines, explain the prob-
lems we faced, and summarize our work. We will then talk
about what we learned, and whether it was a good idea.
With luck, a demo of the Blit and the Atari Blit will be in-
cluded.
