I know the CPU boards are designed to work with "Bus Mastering"; I've realized I'm not 100% what "Bus Mastering" means or how it works.
My take on it and please correct me if I'm wrong. - There can be several CPU cards in the system however only one can be active on the S-100 bus. - That something in the monitor code on each boards controls if the board is the master or not? Assuming I have this somewhat correct then I have a couple questions: - On power up how does the system decide which CPU board is the master? - How does the master semaphore get passed between boards (or is this even possible)? -Neil -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "N8VEM-S100" group.
