Abstract
A master computer of a controlled system is interrelated with the executory computer of a peripheral device via a standard serial interface. This relationship centers in the programming of the executory computer to make available on command from the master computer substantially all of the functions of the peripheral device, as well as the data stored in the executory computer, and also to lock out the keyboard of the peripheral device on command to prevent operator intrusion.
