PMC CAPABILITIES AND FEATURES
Central Processing Unit (CPU)
64 kb cache memory - Ensures the processor operates at its full 25MHz speed in over 90% of memory accesses.
Modular product design - Allows for easy removal and installation of modules.
Random access memory (RAM) - Contains 8 Megabytes of RAM expandable to 24 Megabytes. The RAM board
stores all the acquired data from the remote sites to ensure rapid system responses to any changes of status
reported by the RADCs.
Hard disk - A 320 Megabyte SCSI hard disk assigned to BTOS/CTOS operating system and the applications
software, plus the user-definable system database.
Graphics card - A 256 kbyte module which supports monochrome and color graphics monitors.
Tape streamer - A 1/4 in., 150 Megabyte tape streamer used to download the system disk for historical purposes.
Floppy disk - A 1.2 Megabyte, 5.25 in. floppy disk (630 kbytes formatted).
Communication ports - Provided through two Communication Expander Modules. Each module provides 1
parallel and 3 serial ports, which allows connection to I/O peripherals, printers, and host- and wide-area networks.
The DCX module is the interface between the CPU and the Communications Multiplexers. The DCX module
also provides the capability to poll up to 256 RADCs.
