ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for improving sustainable data throughput between a host system minicomputer and a plurality of peripheral memories utilizes a dual-ported RAM memory, a microelectronic processor with an instruction rate of 10 MIPS or greater and task switching firmware executed by the microelectronic processor for rapid switching between communication on a peripheral data bus to the peripheral memories and communication on a system data bus having a relatively higher data rate. Also disclosed is a method of data caching on the host system using the peripheral controller.
