Winter 1983 USENIX Conference Proceedings. UNIX on the National Semiconductor NS16032 (, with Glenn Skinner and Laura Neff). Using Unix as a micro-program development tool. Unix is standardized on many working platforms, so it is used to debug a new microprocessor and novel memory management unit designed at National Semiconductor in a project code-named Project Mesa.
1977 West Coast Computer Faire, USA: The Design of a Voice Output Adapter for Computer. The design of a Voice Output Adapter for visually handicapped computer programmers is discussed. This device, based on a DEC LSI-11 microcomputer and a VOTRAX VS-6 synthesizer will generate speech from ordinary typed text. Phonetic translation is accomplished by a set of rules, instead of a dictionary. Although this device uses a VOTRAX synthesizer, and experimentation has been limited to English, the device will act independently of language or synthesizer type. All software will reside in the main memory; no peripheral memory will be used. This results in a compact device.
