IMP-HOST INTERFACE FLOW DIAGRAMS
The following flow diagrams were extracted from the logic diagrams
provided in Appendix B of BBN Report No. 1822. These diagrams
indicate the logical sequence of hardware operations which occur
within the IMP-HOST interface. The logic names appearing in the
blocks correspond to the logic elements found in Appendix B.
