Memory and Addressing

This workbook is designed as a study guide for understanding memory and addressing on the PDP-11 computer. It covers key concepts including:

• Memory Basics: Organization of memory into bytes and words, use of octal notation, and the address structure (even/odd addresses).
• Address Space: How 16-bit and 18-bit addressing works, memory management, and address assignments for I/O and CPU registers.
• Memory Mapping: Organization of trap vectors, interrupt vectors, the hardware stack, and the distinction between user and utility programs.
• Memory Operations: Detailed explanations of DATI, DATIP, DATO, and DATOB operations.
• Memory Types: Coverage of core memory (including interleaving and parity) and semiconductor memories (MOS vs. bipolar, ROM characteristics, and bootstrapping).

The document includes learning objectives, a course map, review material, and a self-scoring test to verify comprehension.
