AND AFFORDABLE: THE 4404 TALKS YOUR LANGUAGE.
The 4404 may be the first computing tool for Al software programmers that's as user- friendly and productive as the products they're developing.
Most Al programmers know the constraints imposed by time-shared mainframes. By overloaded minis.
By underpowered micros. Pre arranged scheduling and poor response times are obstructive to creativity and results.
The Tek 4404 changes all that. Not only is it designed to be a fast, fully capable Al software development system—it is priced to be a dedi cated personal tool.
A significant advance in the ratio of price to performance among Al systems, it adds new potential for
return on the Al investment.
The 4404 is flexible enough to support a full range of Al develop*
ment applications, and f^ enough to outperform many much more costly systems.
Featuring a 68010 32-bit CPU, virtual memory and bit-mapped display, the 4404 supports the Smalltalk-80'"
programming environment, plus Pro log and the more traditional Al language, LISP. Thus, it allows Al groups to inexpensively analyze and adapt the language most appropri ate to each project.
Using a proprietary high-speed Smalltalk-80 implementation, the 4404 runs the language at twice the speed of any other system currently available for less than $100,000. The 4404 architecture allows its 68010
32-bit microprocessor to operate at full speed with no wait states.
The 4404 is compact and highly reli able. Unlike larger systems, it is also exceptionally quiet. As you expect from Tektronix, it delivers display technology at its best.

THE 4404 IS AN UNMATCHED VALUE F O R A l E N V I R O N M E N T S .
Standard 4404 configuration includes CPU, the Smalltalk-80 programming environment, bit mapped display, mouse, a mega
byte of RAM, and a 40 megab^e
hard disk with single floppy disk.
Also standard are virtual memory operation: floating point accelerator;
RS-232 interface supporting asynchronous serial communica
tions to various hosts and periph erals: a Centronics-style parallel port: SCSI peripheral interface; and 3-voice sound output capability.
The Smalltalk-80 implementation includes text and graphics editors, compiler, source-level debugger, multiple-window screen manage ment and a dynamic memory man ager, facilitating fast feedback during exploratory programming or pro totype development.
As options, the system offers Franz LISP and Prolog: an additional megabyte of memory ; 40 megabyte hard disk with streaming tape drive:

4404 can easily fit in to form a new tier of support, reducing the costs of
mainframe processing and relieving
t h e b o t t l e n e c k a t s h a r e d w o r k s t a
tions, while allowing access to host computer processing via RS-232 or
Ethernet option. In addition, the 4404 can answer many Al developers'
needs for a low-cost yet capable application delivery system.
Not least, the 4404 allows access to one of the most respected support teams in the world, including Tek's
highly-trained technical specialists and its large field service
organization.
By combining state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques and design input from its highly-regarded Al research group. Tektronix has
achieved an unprecedented performance-to-price ratio that can significantly accelerate Al devel opment and enrich the results.

ANYWHERE, ANY TIME:
A SYSTEM YOU CAN USE WITHOUT RESERVATIONS.
From its basic concept as the first personal A! system, the 4404 is engineered for easy human
interface and to facilitate clear and unconstrained thinking.
Don't let the low price and oompact design mislead you: the 4404 is as fast or faster than any other 68000- based system presently available.
The 640x480,60Hz noninterlaced display features real-time hardware
panning over a 1024x1024 address
space. Use the mouse to move freely around the display, yet always know where you are relative to center-
s c r e e n .
The bit-map supports icons and mul tiple windows, enabling fast, effective
creation of graphics of all kinds, from
bar charts to halftones.
The detached, programmable key board features low-profile design, sloped keys, and Tek's innovative joydisk as an integral pointing
d e v i c e .
Tek's Smalltalk-80 Implementation includes text and graphics editors, compiler, source-level debugger, window management and dynamic memory manager. All the tools are at hand for moving quickly and interac tively through all the stages of A!
development.
Whichever language you choose to work with, and whatever your application, you'll appreciate a sys tem that's fast, capable, and more personal than any other, and backed
by Tek's commitment to reliable, thoroughly-supported
products.

The bit-mapped display facilitates advanced user information concepts such as overlapping windows,
"pop-up" menus, and mouse input.
The 4404's 640x480 display functions as a window into a 1024x1024 bit-map memory, with smooth panning whenever the cursor reaches a physical display edge.
Users also have the ability to point with the mouse and integral joydisk.
With its proprietary Smalltalk-80 implementation, graphics performance on the 4404 makes on-screen animation possible. The Smalltalk-80 package offers advantages of a highly integrated programming environ ment and object-oriented language with an excellent
