<p>Floating addressing system and method wherein addressable units, such as storage cards, with different numbers of addresses constituting integral multiples of a basic number (e.g., 4k, 8k, 12k) are plugged into a back panel in random sequence. All cards with the same numbers of addresses are identical. Means associated with these cards enable them to recognize different addresses depending upon where they are plugged in, irrespective of their particular numbers of addresses or plug-in sequence. Thus, any card, irrespective of its address size, may be plugged in to replace one with a different address size, and all cards will automatically be adjusted to recognize their respective new addresses without requiring substitution of different decode logic cards, rewiring or recabling.</p> |
