  • Massbus Follies
    A Massbus Mystery, or, Why Primary Sources Matter, Even In Computer History Bob Supnik, 24-Sep-2004 Summary In preparing a simulator for the VAX-11/780, I discovered that all the extent printed documentation for the DEC RP04/RP05/RP06 controllers is incorrect. Further, VMS followed this error in its drivers, creating a latent bug that has been present since the first release of the operating system in 1977. Background: The Massbus The Massbus is a simple, 16b, high-speed interconnect between a CPU host adapter and one or more mass storage devices. DEC created the Massbus in the early 1970’s, to provide a CPU-to-mass-storage interconnect that was faster than the Unibus. The Massbus was implemented in the PDP-11/70 (via the RH70 host bus adapter) and the DECsystem-20 (via the RH20 host bus adapter). The Massbus was the primary storage interconnect on the VAX-11/780 (via the RH780 host bus adapter). Massbus storage could also be connected to Unibus PDP-11’s (via the RH11 host bus adapter). The Massbus implemented a very simple command and control structure between the host bus adapter and devices. The host adapter maintained the address and word count (DMA) logic. It communicated with the devices via register reads and writes. The host adapter mapped host addresses either to internal (adapter) registers offsets, or to external (device) register offsets. On the PDP-11, this mapping was quite complicated, and a mapping PROM was used between host addresses and register offsets; on the VAX, it was very simple, with different partitions of the adapter’s address space being used for internal offsets and external offsets.

Hệ nhị phân (Binary) 1.1. Khái niệm: Hệ nhị phân hay hệ đếm cơ số 2 chỉ có hai con số 0 và 1. Đó là hệ đếm dựa theo vị trí. Giá trị của một số bất kỳ nào đó tuỳ thuộc vào vị trí của nó. Các vị trí có trọng số bằng bậc luỹ thừa của cơ số 2. Chấm cơ số được gọi là chấm nhị phân trong hệ đếm cơ số 2. Mỗi một con số nhị phân được gọi là một bit (Binary digit). Bit ngoài cùng bên trái là bit có trọng số lớn nhất (MSB, Most Significant Bit) và bit ngoài cùng bên phải là bit có trọng số nhỏ nhất (LSB, Least Significant Bit) như dưới đây: 23 22 21 20 2-1 2-2 MSB 1 0 1 0 . 1 1 LSB Chấm nhị phân Số nhị phân (1010.11)2 có thể biểu diễn thành: 3 2 1 0 -1 -2 (1010.11)2 = 1*2 + 0*2 + 1*2 + 0*2 + 1*2 + 1*2 = (10.75)10. Chú ý: dùng dấu ngoặc đơn và chỉ số dưới để ký hiệu cơ số của hệ đếm. Đối với phần lẻ của các số thập phân, số lẻ được nhân với cơ số và số nhớ được ghi lại làm một số nhị phân.

  • Magneto-Optical Drives, Flash Memory Devices, and Tape Drives Are Useful Supplements to Primary Storage
    13 0789729741 ch12 7/15/03 4:11 PM Page 663 CHAPTER 12 High-Capacity Removable Storage 13 0789729741 ch12 7/15/03 4:11 PM Page 664 664 Chapter 12 High-Capacity Removable Storage The Role of Removable-Media Drives Since the mid-1980s, the primary storage device used by computers has been the hard disk drive. However, for data backup, data transport between computers, and temporary storage, secondary storage devices such as high-capacity removable media drives, floptical drives, magneto-optical drives, flash memory devices, and tape drives are useful supplements to primary storage. Pure optical storage—such as CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-RAM, DVD+RW, DVD-RW, and others—is covered in Chapter 13, “Optical Storage.” These types of drives can also be used as a supplement to hard disk storage as well as for pri- mary storage. The options for purchasing removable devices vary. Some removable-media drives use media as small as a quarter or your index finger, whereas others use larger media up to 5 1/4''. Most popular removable- storage drives today have capacities that range from as little as 16MB to as much as 100GB or more. These drives offer fairly speedy performance and the capability to store anything from a few data files or less frequently used programs to complete hard disk images on a removable disk or tape. The next two sections examine the primary roles of these devices. Extra Storage As operating systems and applications continue to grow in size and features, more and more storage space is needed for these programs as well as for the data they create.
