摘要： A method and apparatus for powering down a computer system while saving the state of the system at power down is disclosed. The system maintains the capability to suspend the execution of an application program operating on the system at any point and resuming execution of the application program at that same point at a later time. The time at which the system may be powered down and then powered back up again is totally arbitrary and depends only upon the user of the system. At the time the system is powered off, the contents of all active registers as well as the states of all I/O devices in the system are stored in a special save area of system memory. This special save area is provided with power during the suspended time in order to retain the state of the system at the time it was powered down. By using this special save suspend area, the main memory area of the system is available to any application programs independently of the system save memory requirements. Additionally, the system may be powered on and off under software control thereby providing the capability for unattended system operation using an alarm function.

摘要： This invention relates to assigning disk drives associated with both a host computer and a remote computer coupled together by a communication link using normal DOS driver letters. DOS initialization of the host computer is postponed until a remote session is established with the remote computer and the remote computer provides information regarding the disk drives associated therewith. Upon receiving the disk drive information from the remote computer, the host completes its initialization and assigns drive letters associated with diskette drives associated with the host computer to diskette drives associated with the remote computer. Thus, host diskette drives are logically replaced by remote diskette drives. Any hard disk drives associated with the remote computer are assigned the next available drive letter on the host computer. Thus, the host computer and the remote computers become tightly coupled in that a user of the remote system has access to the diskette drives and any hard disk drives on the remote computer and any hard disk drives on the host computer.

摘要： A method for creating on-line presentations on a computer display using a complier, a compressor, and a processor. The complier converts control commands in source code format into object code format in order to specify how the information in an on-line presentation is to be presented on the display. The complier also creates a file identifying the image data to be used in the presentation. This file contains the names of the display units describing the image data used to indicate which of the uncompressed image data is to be operated upon by the compressor. The compressor formats and compresses the displayable picture elements of text and graphic shapes which have been used to create the on-line presentation. The processor then loads and executes the object code of the control commands with its corresponding picture elements of image data to create the on-line presentation. The control commands are generated totally separate from the image data.

摘要： A computer system having four states of power management: a normal operating state, a standby state, a suspend state, and an off state. The standby state is characterized by devices, such as a video controller and a hard drive, being placed into a low-power mode transparent to the operating system and the applications executing on the computer system. The suspend state is characterized by executing code being interrupted and the state of the computer system being saved to a file on the hard drive in such a manner that system power may be removed after the state of the computer system is saved to the hard drive. Later, after system power is restored, the state of the computer system is resumed by reading from the hard drive and loading it in such a manner that the operating system and application programs are not adversely affected. The normal operating state and the off state correspond to the typical on and off states of more conventional computer systems. The suspend/resume/standby feature is implemented at a low cost using many standard components.

摘要： A computer system having a CPU, a non-volatile storage device, a power management processor having a volatile power management configuration, and a power supply in circuit communication. The power management processor controls the regulation of power to the CPU by the power supply. Prior to causing the power supply to cease providing regulated power to the CPU, the power management processor interrupts the CPU via a system management interrupt. Responsive to being interrupted via the system management interrupt, the CPU performs tasks associated with the power supply imminently ceasing to provide regulated power to the CPU. Such tasks include writing data to non-volatile memory and refreshing an alarm value in the power management processor. The CPU can extend the period of time before the power management processor causes the power supply to cease providing regulated power to the CPU while the CPU performs the necessary tasks.

摘要： A method and apparatus are disclosed for enabling a diskette drive system to distinguish between diskettes and verify that the diskette currently in the drive is the correct one. Each diskette contains a file allocation table for controlling the allocation and deallocation of storage space on the diskette. Each time that the file allocation table on a diskette is accessed, i.e., read or written, a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) value for the file allocation table is calculated and stored. When checking the validity of a diskette, i.e., that the correct diskette is in the drive, a CRC value for the file allocation table of the currently loaded diskette is calculated and compared to the most recently stored CRC value. If the most recently calculated CRC value does not match the most recently stored CRC value, then this is an indication that the wrong diskette is currently in the diskette drive. A warning is then provided to the system user to change diskettes before a read or a write operation will be commenced.
摘要翻译：公开了一种用于使软盘驱动器系统能够区分软盘并验证当前在驱动器中的软盘是否正确的方法和装置。每个软盘包含一个文件分配表，用于控制磁盘上的存储空间的分配和释放。每次访问软盘上的文件分配表，即读取或写入时，计算并存储用于文件分配表的循环冗余校验（CRC）值。当检查软盘的有效性，即正确的软盘在驱动器中时，计算当前加载的软盘的文件分配表的CRC值，并将其与最近存储的CRC值进行比较。如果最近计算出的CRC值与最近存储的CRC值不匹配，那么这表明错误的软盘当前在软盘驱动器中。然后，在开始读取或写入操作之前，向系统用户提供警告以更换软盘。

摘要： A computer system having four states of power management: a normal operating state, a standby state, a suspend state, and an off state. A control unit controls transitions between the various states. The standby state is characterized by devices, such as a video controller and a hard drive, being placed into a low-power mode transparent to the operating system and the applications executing on the computer system. The suspend state is characterized by executing code being interrupted and the state of the computer system being saved to a file on the hard drive in such a manner that system power may be removed after the state of the computer system is saved to the hard drive.

The normal operating state and the off state correspond to the typical on and off states of more conventional computer systems. A single switch causes transitions between the various states. A visual feedback device, such as an LED is used to indicate the state of the computer system. While no power management driver is active, the control unit delays state transitions until a suitable power management driver is active.
