Engineered for Expansion

Southwest provides two families of Building Block Systems carefully engineered to meet the demanding requirements of business and industrial environments. The Building Block Systems are the starting point for building a system tailored to your specific application.

Solutions Hardware

Each system is configured with a powerful Motorola 68B09 Central Processing Unit, mass storage and expansion ports for adding additional devices.

• All the Building Block Systems come equipped with one or two 51/4 inch floppy disk drives. Each floppy disk drive has a 1.25 million character capacity.
• A variety of Winchester disk drives are available for applications with large data volumes and/or multiple users.
• The S1000 and S1100 are delivered in an attractive office environment system cabinet with casters for easy movement. All other Building Block Systems come as two stackable boxes.
• The Building Block Systems come ready to accept at least one terminal and one printer. Larger systems are configured to support additional peripheral devices.

Solutions Software

The S600 system includes the versatile single-user FLEX Operating System. Requiring less than 56K bytes of memory, FLEX is the operating system of choice for single-user applications. FLEX developers have a choice of Assembler, BASIC, C and Fortran for developing applications. A variety of system utilities are also available.

All other systems are shipped with UniFLEX.

UniFLEX (UNIX look-alike) provides a powerful multi-user, multi-tasking operating system. Residing in less than 60,000 bytes of memory, UniFLEX is capable of supporting large installations of up to sixteen terminals and multiple printers. The UniFLEX operating system supports Assembler, BASIC, C, COBOL, Fortran and Pascal. A variety of system utilities are also available

Building Blocks

Each of the Building Block Systems is ready for the user to expand as needed. In general, the S600 and S650 are intended for applications which need four or less users on-line. The S900 and S950 are targeted for applications with four to eight terminals. Both the S1000 and the S1100 can easily support up to sixteen terminals and provide for maximum growth potential.
