The SpotLine M110 is part of a new generation of 
asynchronous/LAN terminals designed for all multi-user environments, 
from microcomputers to minis to mainframes. 
 
And why is this concept new? 
 
It is new and original because the SpotLine M110 demonstrates 
six key characteristics: Color, Performance, Expandability, Intelligence, 
Standardization and Integration. 
 
Color: The color can be controlled completely by the host 
computer, with the application program setting whatever it wants. 
Performance: Thanks to the high communication speed (up to 
115Kbaud) with the host server, the response time for your application 
is greatly improved. 
 
Expandability: The expandability of the SpotLine M110  
terminal is based on two factors: 

- Any base unit can be upgraded from monochrome to color simply 

 

by changing the monitor you use. 

- All the logic and control hardware reside in a separate small unit, 

 

which can then be upgraded for future generations more quickly 

 

than building the old style of all-in-one terminal. 

 
Intelligence: The built-in functionality of the SpotLine M110 
relieves the host computer of many communications tasks, and 
allows for many different configurations. 
In addition, the SpotLine’s multiple ports, windowing and multisession 
capability allows the simultaneous connection to more than one host 
machine, even if they are running different operating systems.
