|
| 12. | Bank switching can be considered as a way of extending the address bus of a processor with some external register.
|
| 13. | Bank switching was used to achieve this larger address space by organizing memory into separate banks of up to 64KB each.
|
| 14. | Bank switching was later supplanted by 16-bit systems, which in turn gave way to paging memory management units.
|
| 15. | This increases portability, as programs are not required to deal with systems that have disjointed memory maps or require bank switching.
|
| 16. | The 6509 had a reputation for being difficult to program, due to its bank switching scheme, and never fared well.
|
| 17. | The paged memory system in the expansion chassis used bank switching to allow the NewBrain to take advantage of several 64 kB modules.
|
| 18. | Early cartridges were 2 KB Palladium Video-Computer-Game ) supported up to 31 KB without any need for bank switching.
|
| 19. | The 128-channel Data Harvester was invented in 1984 to provide sensor power and speed modal analysis by offering automatic bank switching capability.
|
| 20. | The Datamaster was an all-in-one computer with text-mode 8085, with bank switching to manage 256 kB of memory.
