This Central processing unit was part of an early word processor system, the first microprocessor-controlled word processor developed in Canada. AES Data Ltd. was formed in 1974 by Steven Dorsey to design & market stand alone-systems. The AES 90, possibly the world's first special purpose screen text editing system, was introduced in 1974. The original price (with printer) was $14,900.00 in 1974. This unit was used in Ottawa by the Office of the Minister of Public works and in other government offices.
Function
A computer input-output device with a keyboard for entering data into the computer & a video screen for displaying data.
Technical
The first production model of the aes-90, a very early stand-alone word processor utilizing a display screen for word processing functions. Such machines succeeded earlier word processors which were originally electric typewriters with memory; the proliferation of such devices was part of the office automation revolution. CPU memory is 10,000 12-bit words and the disk memory is 128
