The game control unit is operable under the control of a game control program stored in a memory for automatically operating the pinsetter control units during game play to selectively set a sequence of pin patterns on the lane, which patterns may comprise any array of pins. The game control unit responsive to pin fall data received from the gamesetter generates scoring information which is displayed using video graphic displays on the overhead monitors. The game control program can be any one of a plurality of different game programs which may be downloaded to the memory from a memory associated with the manager's control terminal. According to the particular game program, the number of bowling frames the game may vary as well as the number of balls and pins utilized in each frame. The manager's control system provides accounting control over the bowling center system and is operable to override operation of a selected game control unit as necessary. A plurality of remote terminals are provided associated with selected ones of said lane pair control systems. Each remote terminal system includes a keyboard and a display monitor.

    摘要: A digital system having a split transaction memory access. The digital system can access data from a system memory through a read buffer (FIFO) located between the processor of the digital system and the system bus. The read buffer is implemented with two FIFOs, a first incoming data FIFO for reading data, and a second outgoing address FIFO for transmitting read requests. The processor of the digital system can access the data FIFO and read data while the data transfer is still in progress. This decreases the processing latency, which allows the processor to be free to perform additional tasks.

    摘要: Methods for waking up an idle memory transfer controller (MTC) in response to an event from an external source. The first mechanism, Parameter List Pointer (PLP) FIFO Wake Up, wakes up an MTC after an external agent writes to an MTC's PLP FIFO. This activates the MTC's run bit, making the MTC eligible to execute instructions if chosen to do so by the memory transfer engine arbiter. This mechanism allows the MTC to distinguish between multiple possible originators of multiple possible wake-up events; wake-up events may be queued. Events may be directed to particular MTCs or to the next MTC available to process the event. The second mechanism wakes up an MTC after an external agent writes to an MTC's external wake-up address. This sets the MTC's run bit, making the MTC eligible to execute instructions if chosen to do so by the memory transfer engine arbiter. This approach only recognizes one event and one source. Events may not be queued using this approach.

    摘要: A fast switching, device for passing or blocking signals between two input/output ports includes a transistor having a first and a second terminal and a control terminal. The first and second terminals are connected between the two ports. The transistor passes signals between the ports when the transistor is turned on and blocks the passage of signals between the ports when the transistor is turned off. The resistance between the first and second terminals is less than about 10 ohms when the transistor is turned on. The device further includes a driver for controlling the control terminal of the transistor for turning it on or off. Preferably the capacitance between the first or second terminal and a reference potential is less than about 50 pF.
