Physieal Deviee Number
The physical device number is a predefined number that refers ta a particu-
lar peripheral
unit capable of input and/or output with the PET. The device num-
ber must be within the range 0 ta 255. although currently only numbers 0 ta 30
will assign a device. Deviee numbers are listed in Table 4-1.

Seeondary Address Code
The secondary address code specifies the type of operation ta be performed
on the selected device. The meanings of the codes for a particular device are pre-
determined. For the
PET tape cassettes. the secondary address code is used by
the
PET software primarily ta read or write tape headers. For IEEE 488-interfaced
devices. the secondary address code
is passed on directly ta the device. allowing
the program ta select a variety of operational modes. Secondary address codes'
are not used for keyboard input or output ta the display screen. Secondary ad-
dress codes for
PET devices are listed in Table 4-2. For IEEE devices. refer ta the
device manual
for secondary address codes recognized by the device.
