Notation and Terminology
This product bridges the traditionally divergent worlds of Intel-based PC’s and
Motorola-based VMEbus controllers; therefore, some confusion over “conventional”
notation and terminology may exist. Every effort has been made to make this manual
consistent by adhering to conventions typical for the Motorola/VMEbus world;
nevertheless, users in both camps should review the following notes:
? Hexadecimal numbers are listed Motorola-style, prefixed with a dollar sign:
$F79, for example. By contrast, this same number would be signified 0F79H
according to the Intel convention, or 0xF79 by many programmers. Less
common are forms such as F79h or the mathematician’s F7916.
? An 8-bit quantity is termed a “byte,” a 16-bit quantity is termed a “word,” and a
32-bit quantity is termed a “longword.” The Intel convention is similar,
although their 32-bit quantity is more often called a “doubleword.”

符号和术语
该产品连接了基于英特尔的PC和
基于摩托罗拉的VMEbus控制器；因此，对“传统”的一些困惑
符号和术语可能存在。已尽一切努力制作本手册
通过遵守摩托罗拉/VMEbus世界的典型惯例保持一致；
尽管如此，两个营地的用户都应查看以下注释
? 十六进制数字以摩托罗拉风格列出，前缀为美元符号：
例如，F79美元。相比之下，这个数字将被表示为0F79H
根据英特尔的惯例，许多程序员使用0xF79。较少的
常见的形式有F79h或数学家的F7916。
? 8位量被称为“字节”，16位量被称为“字”，以及
32位量被称为“长字”英特尔大会也是如此，
虽然它们的32位量通常被称为“双字”
