Abstract

This paper describes the hardware/software design decisions, cost, and development status the JOYCE personal computer. The features of the system are examined in light of scheduled applications such as CAI (a stand alone PLATO system), database management, electronic mail, and other network communication facilities. Plans for continued system development are outlined.Our experiences relating to the acquisition of the components necessary for the realization of JOYCE, including delivery delays, vendor promises, and the gap between vendor product actual operation and documented operational descriptions will be detailed.
