PLATO IMS Synthesizer

Now this is interesting. Mark Smart put up a site on the PLATO IMS Synthesizer. If you don't know what it is, check out the site via the title like to this post. The site is made to use the amber on black font of the PLATO. The site has history, samples and details on it's sythesis. Really impressive.



"I put up a web site about the IMS synthesizer which was developed at the
University of Illinois for use with the PLATO computer system. I went kind of
nuts and wrote PHP scripts to generate characters that look like a real PLATO
plasma screen."
