The terminal types supported on the advanced terminal processor (ATP) and
asynchronous data communications controller (ADCC) terminal/printer controllers
for MPE V/E T-MIT or later (MPE V/E version G.01.00 or later) are 6, 9, 10, 12,
13, 15, 16, 18, 19, 20, 21, TTPCL18, TTPCL19, and TTPCL22.
The data and terminal subsystems (DTS) on MPE/iX systems supports terminal
types 10 and 18.
The DTS on MPE/iX systems supports printer types 18, 21, and 22.
Table C-1 "MPE/iX Terminal Types and Similar
MPE V/E Terminal Types" through Table C-2
"MPE/iX Printer Types and Similar MPE V/E Terminal Types" provide
comparative information for MPE V/E and MPE/iX terminal and printer types.
