The era of the 16-bit microprocessor began in 1978 with the introduction by Intel of the 8086 and 8088 processors. Embedded controller versions of some of the general purpose cpu’s were also added to the families. The 16-bit microprocessors were a follow-on to the previous 8 bit chips. They offered not only greater integer word size, but more address range, and faster operation than their predecessors. Initially implemented in multiple chips, the march of technology finally allowed these 16-bit machines to be a single chips design. Floating point hardware was developed for the 16-bit integer cpu’s, and would later be incorporated into the same chip as the later 32-bit processors. At the same time, single-chip versions of some of the popular 16-bit minicomputers evolved. These included the DEC PDP-11 and Data Genera NOVA series. The 16-bit machines finally brought processing power to the desktop to begin to threaten the reign of the mainframes. Just imagine. A computer on every desktop. What would we do with that…

This research describes the development of a Universal Network Interface Device (UNID II) which is intended to function as a network node in a computer communications network. The UNID II is a 16-bit, 8086 microprocessor based version of the present 8-bit Z80A UNID being developed. In this report the detailed design, construction, and testing of the network module is documented. The network module was designed using the Intel 8086 microprocessor family of components, including an 8089 Input/Output processor. An Intel SBC 86/12A single board computer was used as the local module and its testing is also documented. The test were conducted with the aid of an Intel ICE-86A/88A In-Circuit Emulator. The tests conducted, verified the proper operation of the network module's bus interface circuitry, control circuitry, and DMA transfer capabilities. The shared memory, which is used for intercommunication between the two modules, was also successfully tested. The UNID II was not tested in a computer communications network environment.

The UNID II is a 16-bit, 8086 microprocessor based version of the present 8-bit Z80A UNID being developed at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT). The UNID II's architecture was based on a conceptual block diagram design presented in a previous AFIT thesis. It is comprised of two modules: a local module, which interfaces the UNID II to host computers and/or peripheral devices; and a network module, which interfaces the UNID II to a computer communications network. In this report the detailed design of the network module, and the construction and testing of the local module is documented. The network module was designed using a pair of 8089 Input/Output Processors in a remote configuration. The local module consists of an Intel SBC 86/12A single board computer and a wire wrap card with four low speed I/O ports. Testing was done using an Intel ICE-86A/88A In-Circuit Emulator. The tests conducted, verified the proper operation of the local module, including some software to process X.25 formatted frames. The UNID II was not tested in a computer communications network environment. (Author)

Commodore Amiga Book: 16-32 Bit Microprocessors (1991)(Macmillan)

This research describes the design of a Universal Network Interface Device (UNID II) which is intended for use in a computer communications network. The II distinguishes UNID II from the original UNID which was also designed and developed at the Air Force Institute of Technology. UNID II's purpose is to lessen the time delays and development costs incurred by custom-designing network interfaces for each application. UNID II is a programmable interface; and although different applications require different device dependent programming, UNID II hardware remains essentially unchanged. A requirements study shows that to handle a wide variety of interfacing situations, UNID II must perform node functions which include concentration, switching and routing, front-end processing, and user-terminal interfacing. The performance of these functions relieves network hosts from communication-specific software. The key design concept is the subdivision of UNID II into two independent subsystems which communicate through an area in shared memory.

Interpolation techniques for three types (univariate, bivariate, and map) of nonanalytic functions are described. These interpolation techniques are then implemented in scaled fraction arithmetic on a representative 16 bit microprocessor. A FORTRAN program is described that facilitates the scaling, documentation, and organization of data for use by these routines. Listings of all these programs are included in an appendix.
