Chapter 3: Operating an ASCII Device with the
AUATC Terminal Converter
This section describes how to access and operate an ACSII-based device with a PS/2 or Sun console (keyboard and
monitor) using the AUATC.
Screen Layout
The AUATC produces eight color, 800x600-resolution video, which can accommodate 32 lines of 80 text
characters. A typical ASCII terminal uses 24 lines, so the AUATC uses the 8 extra lines to provide system status and
help information. These 8 lines are located on the top four and the bottom four lines of the screen (see Figure 4).
