This 7-bit monochrome field terminal was designed by Ampex as a replacement for the older AM-60 terminal. The AM-60 was the first terminal officially from Alpha Micro. It contained special firmware for Alpha Micro compatible operation, such as:
• | 132 column support |
• | Box drawing and fill |
• | Box scroll |
The ZTERM 2000 emulation of the AM-62A adds a number of special features not present on the real terminal:
• | 8-bit character support |
• | Enhanced box commands |
• | Mouse position reporting |
• | ZTERM 2000 specific commands |
• | Ability to redefine background and foreground colors |
