Abstract
This article describes the DSN Standard Interface Adapter and Buffer Assembly (referred to as the “900/SIA”) used to effect interface compatibility between the Xerox Data Systems 920 computer (XDS 920) and the Mark III Data System (MDS) processors. It sets forth the requirements based on the differences between the two systems. Described are the operational characteristics and general design strategy as well as certain efficient implementation techniques used. From a software standpoint, the transfer protocol is discussed to a level of detail sufficient for its operation.
