Yet another entry into the X Terminal arena is Princeton Graphic Systems of Roswell, Georgia, a division of World-Wide Technology, which also owns Computone Products. Princeton is expected to unveil its Ultra X specifically-designed X Terminal for monochrome and colour graphics at Unix Expo, aiming the product at value added reseller and end user sales. The system promises features such as a virtual screen capability, and custom memory management aimed at using memory more efficiently than typical X server configurations. Resolutions will range from standard VGA – 640 by 480, up to workstation quality 1,280 by 1,024, are expected, with configurable memory from 512Kb up to 8Mb. Video adaptors for both analogue and TTL digital will be available, and the terminal will support system communications over TCP/IP using thick or thin Ethernet. Ultra X will be configurable for optimised support of applications such as CAD/CAE, software engineering, financial, medical image processing and desktop publishing, and will be suitable for connection to 80386 and 80486 machines (with Ethernet adaptors), as well as workstations, minicomputer, supercomputers and mainframes. The virtual screen facility supports access to screens much larger than the display resolution of the monitor, using smooth planing to move across the screen area. No prices or availability as yet.
