摘要:
A multiple computer system having team/work group features built in. A principal hardware component thereof is a unitary chassis of a compact tower configuration, designed to house electronics for up to four personal computers, all operating on a single power supply. The unitary chassis provides interconnecting cable for connecting up to four corresponding display terminals and keyboards. One of the personal computers in the chassis is designated the TEAMHUB and the remaining personal computers in the chassis are designated TEAMMATES. Up to three such TEAMMATES may be included in one such chassis. Two TEAMPRO systems may be readily combined to serve up to eight local users in a team/work group environment. Each such computer electronics within the TEAMCHASSIS provides a communication card, which may for example be a SCSI card providing data rate transfer between TEAMHUB and TEAMMATES at 10 Megabytes per second. Furthermore, within the TEAMCHASSIS, each computer comprises a CPU card and a monitor interface card, such as a VGA card. In addition, the chassis provides at least one 51/4 inch floppy disk drive and at least one 31/2 inch floppy disk drive, both of which can be shared by any of the four computers in a daisy chain configuration. In addition, each computer has its own hard disk drives. The system is also designed to connect to external devices, such as CD-ROM or other SCSI devices.
