I/O control memory words are set aside in
main memory to control which of the
following actions?
1. Data transfers for I/O buffer functions
2. The sequence of I/O operations
3. Parallel operations
4. Serial operations
7-57.
In parallel operations, each I/O channel has
its own block of memory addresses for
which of the following operations?
1. Input and output only
2. External function only
3. External interrupt operations only
4. Input, output, external function, and
external interrupt operations
7-58.
Serial operations are affected by which of
the following factors?
1.
Character size, parity selection, and
asynchronous interfacing only
2.
Parity selection, baud rate, and
synchronous interfacing only
3.
Character size, parity selection, and
synchronous and asynchronous
interfacing only
4.
Character size, parity selection, baud
rate, and synchronous and
asynchronous interfacing
7-59.
Monitor words are used for which of the
following purposes?
1.
To monitor external equipment status
2.
To monitor bytes that are to be
transferred by the pending operation
3.
To store characters for comparison
with received data characters
4.
To monitor main memory for the next
available address for chaining
instructions
7-60.
Another term for accumulator based I/O is
which of the following?
1. Direct CPU interface
2. Direct memory access
3. Interrupt driven I/O
4. Memory mapped I/O
7-61.
The CPU handles all I/O transactions by
executing one or more instructions for each
word of information transferred. This
process is known by which of the
following terms?
1. Polled I/O
2. Memory mapped I/O
3. Interrupt driven I/O
4. Accumulator based I/O
7-62.
In memory mapped I/O, the CPU accesses
the I/O device by which of the following
means?
1. Tieing peripheral devices directly into
the communication bus
2. Placing appropriate addressing
information on the bus
3. Checking each channel or port to
determine if it has data for input or is
ready to accept output data
4. Using an I/O processor for interface
between memory and the external
equipments
7-63.
During direct CPU interface operations, the
CPU continuously tests the status register.
This technique is known by which of the
following terms?
1. Memory mapped I/O
2. Accumulator based I/O
3. Interrupt driven I/O
4. Polled I/O
