| Product Description: The MERLIN Video Interface Adds a Visual Dimension to Your Altair or IMSAI | 62 |
| What is missing when you purchase a main frame computer from the catalogues of MITS Inc or IMS ASSOCIAtes? Asking that question has recently started several companies purveying products to the small systems market. The identification of gaps in a product line, then independently filling these gaps is a highly respected tradition in the computer field, a tradition which has hardly changed as the market widens through microcomputer technoly. An example of creative and innovative produc idea which augments and enhances an existing computer product line is provided by the new MERLIN board manufactured by MiniTerm Associates, Bedford MA. The floowing article is edited from materials supplied by MiniTerm. |

It has been essentially kept under wraps until the BASIC facility was suffciently developed to allow release. The system has been shown off in bits and pieces throughout the design process by people from M&R who attend the sessions of the Hombrew Computer Club in Palo Alto CA. How that M&R Enterprises is finally to the point of delivering the systems in initial production quantitites it leaves the rumor stage and becomes a full fledged contender in the marketplace... |
