This capacity would allow for quick corrections to minor keying errors. The Key to disk system[ edit ] The original processor had 4 registers with one register being 8 bit used for data and the other three being 12 bit used for data manipulation and addresses. The commands for the processor were 8 and 16 bits.
The original disk was kilobytes. The original system had 2k of non-volatile magnetic core memory. The final version of the had 12k of memory. The system supported 8 keystations. A unique advantage of the Inforex Hardware Design involved generic printed circuit cards to which were soldered a variety of very basic integrated circuits.
These IC's were inter-connected on the opposite side of the pc board by pinpoint soldering of enamel coated wires, from point to point to point. These wiring networks were complicated and intricate. They were initially soldered together by Computer Numerical Controlled systems. Repair and correction for circuit design errors were handled mostly by field office personnel up to the point of 30 to 50 wiring changes on a single board.
Larger circuit design changes were handled by the factory and their programmed assembly systems. The Key to disk system[ edit ] This was an expansion of the system. The biggest difference was that the system could support 16 key stations in 2 banks of 8 stations and 12k of memory.
The Key to disk system[ edit ] The was a total redesign of the system with a new backplane. The disk drive was 2. The processor address bus was now 16 bits and the instruction set consisted of 8, 16, and 24 bit instructions. Core memory was increased to 24k. The company also made model max-edit data entry and model for high volume data base management. These used 5 platter "washing machine" style hard drives.
The System Turnkey File Management System[ edit ] Already established as a leader in the key-to-disk data entry system market by the series, in the early s Inforex tried to expand by creating a new product category: turnkey file management systems. The impetus came on a request from Westinghouse, who were trying to keep track of , engineering drawings known then as "blueprints" after the ink color used by the large-format printers via a manual system.
In that era, most business applications were written in COBOL, and could take up to two years to develop from the time a user department requested the application. The entire system was driven by simple two-letter commands entered on video terminals. The first step was to create a format. This command allowed the user to type a form directly onto the screen, using fixed text for headings, and indicating where variable data fields would get populated from the data file.
The format could be associated with a data file created by an existing application, or used to create a new one by entering records interactively. The revolutionary ease of use of this system can best be illustrated by an anecdote. When the first system was installed at Westinghouse, the site employee directory was loaded into a file, and a terminal was given to the company receptionist so that she could direct phone calls and visitors appropriately.
Raffo passed away peacefully in his home in Weston on Tuesday, September 20, , surrounded by family. He was John was raised in Italy and educated at the Italian Naval Academy in Livorno and Polytechnic University of Turin, where he graduated with a Doctorate in electrical engineering.
The two met in primary school and shared 80 loving years together, before her passing in They first immigrated to the United States in for three years, after which they spent another decade in Italy. John started his career, in , as a senior design engineer at Radiotelevisione Italiana, Italian television Authority in Rome.
During his time in Rome, he was a key part of the development of early television in Italy. Then, in , he became Chief Engineer, computer development, at Olivetti in Milan. Taking the position of General Manager, operations, at Honeywell in Wellesley, Massachusetts in would bring John and Laura to the United States for the first time. It was during this time that John was awarded the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic, the highest ranking honor of the Republic, awarded for "merit acquired by the nation" and for long and conspicuous service in civilian and military careers.
