ABSTRACT:
A peripheral controller, designated as a data link processor, is used for linking a main host computer system with a plurality of magnetic tape transport units. Upon receipt of instructions from the main host system, the data link processor will initiate operations for the sending and receiving of data from a plurality of magnetic tape units and relieve the main host system of all housekeeping functions required for data transfers. The data link processor is made up of two units which may be mounted on separate slide-in printed circuit cards. The first unit is a standardized common unit for all types of data link processors and is known as the Common Front End. It provides micro-code storage which is used to effectuate various read, write, control and transfer operations. The second unit is designated as a Peripheral Dependent Board providing the transmission-reception interface to the peripheral magnetic tape units.
