ABSTRACT:
A microprocessor system working in conjunction with an application dependent logic module tailored to handle the requirements of a variety of types of peripheral devices and wherein a microprocessor operates as a universal standard for all types of different application dependent logic modules. Means are provided for the microprocessor to access a total word from memory or to access any selected byte of a word in memory. Thus, the microprocessor and the application dependent logic module constitute a peripheral-controller which can control and monitor data transfer operations between a main host computer and a variety of peripheral devices whether such peripheral devices are "byte" oriented, such as card readers, or whether the peripheral terminal unit is "word" oriented such as magnetic tape or disk peripheral units.
