Memory and peripheral chip select apparatus.

摘要

Memory and peripheral chip select apparatus for allowing the addressing of different memory and peripheral elements by a processor (410). The different memory and peripheral elements include a first memory elements and first peripheral elements (150, 181) located into a first adapter pluggable into a base machine (4) and second memory elements and second peripheral elements (250, 281) located into a second adapter pluggable into the base machine (4). The processor 410 further addresses third memory elements and third peripheral elements (420, 430, 440, 450) located into the base machine (4). The first and second memory elements include code which have a determined type and a determined level of release. The invention is characterized in the fact that it further includes means (410) for reading the type and the level of the release of said code included into one of said first and second adapter and means (420) responsive to said reading and operating when said codes of both of said first and second adapters are of the same type for selecting that of said first or second memory means which has the code of higher level of release when said processor (410) desires to access the code of a given type into one of said adapters.
