Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 for the 1974 film Samna film for the Middle Eastern cooking butter clarified butter Samna was an Atlanta , Georgia U.S. state Georgia , USA based computer software company that was bought by Lotus Development Corporation in November 1990 for 65 million USD. Samna Word was a competitor in the DOS market for word processors in the late 80s. Based in large part on the look and feel of the Wang VS enterprise word processing system s software, it was targeted at businesses who had used the Wang system but were interested in moving to lower cost PC based word processing in the 1980s. It had many strengths, but was regularly criticized in reviews over speed issues. Even before GUI environments like Windows, it pioneered treating the empty editing screen as a scratchpad , that is, a space that you could cursor into, placing a character or other entry anywhere at will on a printable page. In WordPerfect and Word, and virtually all other editors of that period, territory beyond the last character entered did not exist. When the Hercules graphics card began becoming popular, Samna Word supported a Print Preview view that was not editable, but showed font and format treatments in a kind of anticipation of full WYSIWYG. When Windows was released, Samna beat Microsoft in introducing Ami, a graphic s based word processor, in 1988, which was the first major Windows based word processor on the market Word for Windows 1.0 did not debut until early 1989 . Microsoft Windows Windows 3.0 versions were being shipped when Lotus acquired the company, and Ami Pro was folded into Lotus s product line, first becoming Lotus Ami Pro, and then later evolving into Lotus Word Pro . The signature extension of Ami Pro files, .sam, is all that remains of Samna Corp.s originality in developing WYSIWYG editing.

Cleanup date June 2007 Refimprove date December 2007 File KL Fairchild F3850.jpg right thumb 180px Fairchild F8 or F3850 microprocessor. The Fairchild F8 was an 8 bit microprocessor created by Fairchild Semiconductor . It was introduced in 1975 and was the world s leading microprocessor in terms of CPU sales in 1977. ref http www.cpu museum.com F8 e.htm www.cpu museum.com on the F8 ref Features The processor itself had no address bus &mdash memory addresses were kept in each co processor s own address counter and was manipulated through five control signals, reducing the number of pins and the associated cost. It also featured 64 bytes of scratchpad memory , accessed by the ISAR register in cells register windows of eight, which meant external RAM was not always needed for small applications. In addition, the 2 chip processor did not need support chips, unlike others which needed seven or more. The use of the ISAR register allowed a subroutine to be entered without saving registers, the ISAR would just be changed, speeding execution. Special purpose registers were usually stored in the second cell regs 8 15 , and only the first sixteen registers could be accessed directly. The windowing concept was useful, but only the register pointed to by the ISAR could be accessed &mdash to access other registers, the ISAR was incremented or decremented through the window. The F8 ran at 1 MHz 2 MHz, yielding a .5uS cycle time. History The F8 was released in a single chip implementation the Mostek Microprocessor second sourcing deals Mostek Mostek 3870 3870 in 1977. The F8 was used in the Fairchild Channel F Video Entertainment System in 1976 and in the VideoBrain Family Computer VideoBrain Computer system in 1977. The F8 inspired other similar CPUs, such as the Intel 8048 . Designers One of the people responsible for developing it was Robert Noyce who co founded Fairchild but then left in 1968 to found Intel .

Outside Japan, however, sales were not significant. ref http oldcomputers.net tomytutor.html ref History Produced by Matsushita , the machine was released in Japan in 1982 under the name of Tomy Pyuuta . One of the major flaws pointed out with the Tutor was not its hardware, but its marketing the Tutor was announced as a children s computer when in fact it was practically a cheap, evolved version of the TI 99 4A, even having a similar 16 bit CPU the TMS 9995, closely related to the TI 99 4 s TMS 9990 ref name versus other competitors in its price range still used 8 bit microprocessors. The Tutor did not sell well against the ZX Spectrum in the UK and the Commodore 64 in other countries. It ended up being removed quickly from the market and replaced the following year by the Tomy Tutor MK II with a standard mechanical keyboard instead of the original Chiclet style keyboard. However, the new model seems to have been sold only in Japan, and even then only for a short period of time. The Pyuuta Jr. was a console version of the Pyuuta, and similarly only existed in Japan. Similarities to TI 99 4A Portions of the operating system and BASIC code are similar to the 99 8. According to Barry Boone a well known programmer for the TI 99 4A , the Tutor s built in BASIC uses the same internal one byte tokens as does TI s Extended BASIC, and many of the memory scratchpad locations are placed at the same relative locations as the TI 99 4A and TI 99 ... more details

DoJa profile is a Java programming language Java application environment specification for DoCoMo s i mode mobile phone . DoJa is based on the Java ME CLDC API that is defined in the Java Community Process JCP . DoJa is a profile defined by NTT docomo NTT DoCoMo to provide communications and other input output processing, user interface GUI and other application features functions unique to i mode , and extension libraries defined by individual phone terminal makers to add original functions. However, in contrast with other Java ME profiles like Mobile Information Device Profile MIDP or Information Module Profile IMP , DoJa is not defined as a Java Specification Request JSR , hence it s often called a proprietary Java ME profile. DoJa allows i mode to offer more dynamic and interactive content than conventional HTML based i mode content. Java for i mode consists of support for a version of CLDC and a version of the DoJa profile. CLDC support can be 1.0 or 1.1 depending on the handset. The DoJa profile was originally created for the local Japanese market with version 1.0 and version 2.0 more or less corresponding to MIDP 1.0 and MIDP 2.0. For the market outside of Japan a new API has been created, which is referred to as the Overseas Edition. Currently DoJa 1.5oe and DoJa 2.5oe are implemented on handsets sold in Europe. The first DoJa handset with DoJa1.5oe is N341i launched in 2003 from NEC Corporation NEC , and the first DoJa 2.5 handset is M430i launched in the beginning of 2005 from Mitsubishi . The DoJa Profile provides for use with i mode extension library Java for i mode profiles , including user interfaces and HTTP communications.

The Zilog Z800 was a 16 bit microprocessor designed by Zilog to be released in 1985. It was instruction compatible with their existing Zilog Z80 Z80 , and differed primarily in having on chip cache and MMU for a 16 MB address range, and also a huge number of new more orthogonal instructions and addressing modes. However Zilog essentially ignored the Z800 in favour of their 32 bit Zilog Z80000 Z80000 and it appears the Z800 never entered mass production. Citation needed date July 2009 The Z280 in 1987 was another try with almost the same design, but this time implemented in CMOS . Short description There was no expansion of the processor register register set but the registers and instructions were significantly orthogonalized in order to make them more general purpose and powerful. Many new 8 bit and 16 bit operations were added, and the HL, IX, and IY registers were upgraded from their rather limited possibilities as accumulators in the Z80 to more versatile accumulators. In addition to the register operands possible in the Z80, they could be used with immediate data, direct address, register indirect, or indexed operands, even program counter relative. Eight bit operations had even more possibilities, including stack pointer relative addressing and a choice of 8 bit or 16 bits immediate offsets. The address bus was expanded to 24 bits to address 16 MB of memory. The chip was offered with either a 19 bit external bus for 512kB RAM, or a full 24 bit bus for 16MB RAM, the advantage to the smaller bus was a smaller 40 pin package. Like the Z80 before it, the Z800 retained the internal DRAM controller and clock, but added 256 bytes of RAM that could be used either as scratchpad RAM, or as a cache. When used in cache mode the programmer could configure it as a data or instruction cache, or both, and the internal memory controller then used it to reduce access to slower external memory. There were also ambitious provisions for multiprocessing and either loosely or tightl ... more details
