SECTION

OVERVIEW
HRM
The
System
8000
is
a
multiuser
free-standing
unit,
based
on
Zilog's
16-bit
Z8001A
microprocessor
and
running
the
ZEUS
Operating
System
at
5.5
megahertz.
The
System
8000
product
line
consists
of
several
different
models.
The Model
21
and
Model
31
are
both
similar
in
appearance
having
four
or
more
separate
stacked
modules.
The Model
21
contains
a
32
MB
Winchester
Disk
Drive
within
the
Disk/Tape
module.
The
Model
31
is
equipped
with
an
84
MB
Storage
Module
Drive
(SMD).
Both
the
t-I[odel
21
and
Model
31
have
a17
MB
Car-
tridge
Tape
Drive
and
will
accomodate
additional
Disk
or
Disk/Tape
modules.
Figure
1-1
shows
the
modules
that
make up
the
system.
The
top
Processor
Module
controls
the
system
and
contains
the the
CPU
and
various
system
controller
boards
within
its
ten-slot
card
cage.
The
system
communication
is
over
the
32-bit
Z-Bus
Backplane
Interconect
(ZBI).
Two
I/O
panels
located
at
the
re?r
of
the
processor
module
interconnect
with
the
lower
modules
,I/O
panels
and
provide
disk,
tape
and
terminal
communication.
The
Disk/Tape
module
beneath
the
top
module
has
either
a
32-megabyte
Winchester
9isk
drive
or
an
84-megabyte
SMD
and
a
17-megabyte
cartridge
tape
drive.
Disk
and
Tape
I/O
con-
nectors
are
provided
on
the
rear
I/O
panel.
The
remaining
two
modules
can
be
additional
Disk/Tape
or
Accessory
modules
that
are
'interconnected
to
the
above
Disk
and/or
Disk/Tape
Modules.
Terminal
distributIon
panels
for
serial
terminal
and
parallel
printer
connection
can
be
added
to
these
modules.
Both
the
Model
21
and
31
system
can
be
expanded
from
8
to
24
users
by
installing
two
Secondary
Serial
Boards
(SSB)
and
terminal
distribution
panels.

HRM
The
basic
system
contains
five
or
six
printed
circuit
boards
in
the
ten-slot
card
cage.
These
boards
(Figures
1-2
through
1-8)
are:
the
CPU
the
Winchester
Disk
Controller
(WDC)
or
Storage
Module
Device
Controller
Boards
A
and
B
the
Cartridge
Tape
Controller
and
the
Memory
Subsystem
including
~he
ECC
Controller
and
one
or
more
Memory
Arrays.
The
lower
three
slots
of
the
card
cage
are
normally
dedi-
cated
to
the
memory
sUbsystem;
with
the
addition
of
more
memory
boards,
the
basic
system
can
have
a
physical
memory
of
2
megabytes,
not
including
the
small
bootstrap
memory
on
the
CPU
board.
An
optional
memory
configuration
uses
the
lower
five
slots
of
the
card
cage
for
amaximum
physical
memory
of
4
megabytes.
An
expansion
chassis
module
will
be
available
that
can
be
added
to
the
system
increasing
the
number
of
cards
attached
to
the
bus
from
10
to
18.
This
allows
still
more
options.
1.2.
Functional
Relationships
The
diagram
in
Figure
1-9
shows
the
functional
relationships
of
the
boards
that
make
up
the
basic
system.
These
elements
communicate
with
one
a~other
over
Zilog's
Z-Bus
Backplane
Interconnect
(ZBI),
a
high-speed,
32-bit,
semisynchronous
bus.
The
following
paragraphs
briefly
describe
the
func-
tions
of
each
element
on
the
bus.
1.2.1.
CPU
Board (CPU): The
CPU
is
the
host
of
the
System
8000;
it
controls
the
ZBI
and
terminal
communications
into
and
out
of
the
system.
The
CPU
supports
eight
serial
I/O
ports
and
a
parallel
I/O
port
(Figure
1-9).
The
serial
ports
are
compatible
with
RS232-C.
The
parallel
port,
with
the
appropriate
jumpers
inserted,
is
compatible
with
the
line
printer
standards
of
either
Centronics
or
Data
Pro-
ducts.

Winchester
Disk
Controller
(WDC): The
disk
con-
troller
enables
the
CPU
to
communicate
with
up
to
four
24
or
32
MB
Winchester
disk
drives.
An
intelligent
bus
module
with
an
on-board
Z80B
microprocessor,
the
controller
can
be
polled
or
interrupt-driven
by
the
CPU.
The
appropriate
jumper
arrangement
determines
the
controller's
mode
of
operation.
The
disk
is
organized
into
512-byte
sectors.
A
single
command
can
cause
the
transfer
of
up
to
128
512-byte
sectors.
In
addition,
the
disk
controller
uses
a
full-track
1-3

buffer
which
permits
the
transfer
of
24
512-byte
sectors
in
one

revolution.
1.2.3.
storage
Module
Device
Controller
(SMDC): The
SMDC
is
a
high
performance
controller
(1.8
MB/second
max.
data
rate)
linking
the
system
ZBI
backplane
to
the
industry
stan-
dard
storage
Module
Device
(SMD)
interface.
The
SMDC
con-
sists
of
two
cards,
SMDC
A
and
SMDC
B.
Card
A
connects
to
the
ZBI
at
the
96-pin
board
connector
P1.
It
also
connects
to
the
SMD
A
daisy-chain
cable
at
plug
P2.
Card
B
connects
to
four
SMD
B
radial
cables.
All
drive
connections
are
through
the
P2
backplane
connector.
Bit
slice
processor
and
sequencer
logic
control
all
the
operations
of
the
SMDC.
The
SMDC
can
control
up
to
four
eight
inch
drives
that
have
SMD
interface.
SMDC
features
include
packet
control,
overlapped
seek,
automatic
error
recovery,
data
buffering,
flagged
sectors,
long
writes
and
reads,
and
self-test
on
power-up
or
system
initialization.
The
SMDC
can
be
interrupt
driven
or
operate
in
the
polled
mode
to
the
host
when a
packet
is
complete.
It
gives
a
com-
plete
status
report
of
the
SMD
and
the
controller.
1.2.4.
Tape
Cartridge
Controller
(TCC): The
tape
con-
troller
is
the
intelligent
interface
between
the
CPU
and
up
to
four
cartridge
tape
drives.
A
Zilog
Z80B
microprocessor
controls
the
operation
of
the
controller.
The
controller
uses
direct-memory
access
(DMA)
to
transfer
data
between
the
cartridge
tape
drive
and
the
CPU.
When
the
CPU
wants
to
initiate
an
operation,
it
sends
acommand
to
the
controller.
The
controller
completes
the
specified
operation
and
then
interrupt~
the
CPU
to
notify
it
that
the
ope~ation
is
com-
plete.
1.2.5.
M4~mory
Subsystem:
The Memory
Subsystem
includes
an
Error
Checking
and
Correcting
(ECC)
Controller
board
and
one
or
more
Memory
Array
boards.
The
ECC
Controller
can
control
the
operation
of
up
to
4
megabytes
of
dynamic
read/write
memory.
The
data
can
be

ng
words
(32
bits);
the
controller
translates
the
width
of
the
data
and
places
the
data
in
the
proper
locations.
The
con-
troller
transparently
corrects
all
single-bit
errors
(soft)
and
detects
all
double-bit
errors
(hard).
The
controller
uses
a
soft-error
logging
system
that
counts
soft
errors
in
each
64K-byte
block
of
memory.
