PROGRAMMING AND OPERATING FOR HIGH DENSITY DRUM SYSTEM
Abstract
This report gives a programming description of the High Density Drum System. The High Density Drum System is a medium capacity, random access data storage facility specifically intended for use with the Philco Model 212 Central Processor. The drum system time shares the 1.5 microsecond core storage with the computer and all other input/output devices. The system is designed to allow access to any individual word, or multiple of words up to a maximum of 8, 192 words per instruction. The purpose of this report is to ensure effective implementation of the High Density Drum System in the development of computer programs and to ensure efficient operation of the High Density Drum with the Philco 2000 Model 212 Computer. Included in this report is a description of operating controls and operating instructions.
