TO: DAN THOMAS, DG, BOBP, PACE, SWRS, ESMITH, KNICK FROM: GJC DATE: 10/30/85 18:34:06 SUBJECT: LMI USERS and the Multibus. Request for Comment. Here is a rought draft of some new and old material relating to the use of the multibus by LMI users. There are four examples given, 1. a simple board that has I/O registers and does DMA. This would be like a disk or tape controller or some array processors. Or an ICON board (DR11-W emulator). 2. an array-processor that looks like multibus memory. The example includes data conversion issues. 3. the emulex SCSI bus adaptor. This uses I/O registers, DMA, and interrupts. 4. the CD3508 communications board. This uses I/O registers, multibus memory, DMA, and interrupts. For Knick I've included some interesting material on IBM interfacing he requested. Yet another useful looking multibus board.
