What (who) is Ferranti F100-L - definition
Ferranti F100-L
16-BIT MICROPROCESSOR FAMILY
<processor> A processor, with 16-bit addressing, registers
and data paths and a 1-bit serial ALU. The F100-L could
only access 32K of memory (one address bit was used for
indirection). It was designed by a British company for the
British Military.
The unique feature of the F100-L was that it had a complete
control bus available for a coprocessor. Any instruction
the F100-L couldn't decode was sent directly to the
coprocessor for processing. Applications for coprocessors at
the time were limited, but the design is still used in modern
processors, such as the National Semiconductor 32000 series.
The disk operating system was written by Alec Cawley.
