MODEL225
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Hardware Components
The Intellec Series
11/85
Model
225
is
a highly-
integrated microcomputer development system
consisting of a CRT chassis with a
6-slot cardcage,
power
supply, fans, cables, single floppy disk
drive,
and
two printed circuit cards. A separate,
full
ASCII
keyboard is connected with a cable.
A block diagram of the Model
225
is shown
in
Figure1.
CPU Cards - The master
CPU
card contains its
own microprocessor, memory,
I/O, interrupt and
bus interface circuitry
implemented with Intel's

components. Known
as
the
integrated processor card
(IPC), it occupies the
first
slot
in
the cardcage. A second slave
CPU
card
is
responsible for all remaining I/O control
including
the
CRT
and keyboard interface. This
card, mounted
on
the rear panel, also contains its
own microprocessor,
RAM
and
ROM
memory, and
1/0 interface logic, thus,
in
effect, creating a dual
processor envi"ronment. Known
as
the 1/0 con-
troller (IOC), the slave
CPU
card communicates
with the
~PC
over
an
8-bit bidirectional data bus.
Expansion - Five remaining
slots
in
the cardcage
are
available for system expansion. Additional
expansion of 4 slots can be achieved through the
addition of
an
Intellec Series
II
expansion chassis.
