Figure 6-17: Thirty-Six Pin VO Channels
Math Coprocessor Control
The math coprocessor functions as an I/O device through I/O port
addresses hex OF8, OFA and OFC. The microprocessor sends OP
codes and operands to I/O ports. The microprocessor also receives
and stores results through the same I/O ports. The 'busy" signal sent
by the coprocessor forces the microprocessor to wait until the
coprocessor has finished executing.
The following describes the math coprocessor controls:
OF0
The latched math coprocessor busy signal can be cleared with an 8-bit
"out" command to port FO. The coprocessor will latch "busy" if it asserts
its error signal. Data output should be zero.
OF1
The math coprocessor will reset if an 8-bit "out" command is sent to
port F1 . Again, the data output should be zero.
