Logic apparatus for use with a computing device.

摘要

The invention is an apparatus for use with a computing device for generating a substitute acknowledgement to a first input signal when the computing device is in an operational hiatus. The apparatus comprises a logical processing circuit for indicating presence of the first input signal depending upon the state of a second input signal, and a logical circuit for producing an output signal which is representative of a selection of one of the plurality of logical inputs. The selection of logical inputs is determined by the state of the second input signal. The first input signal is a hold request signal and comprises a first logical input to the logical processing circuit. A second logical input is a hold acknowledgement signal which is generated by the computing device in response to the presence of the first input signal when the computing device is not in an operational hiatus.
