Status Model
The term "event" refers to any phenomenon which generates a service
request.
The status byte register holds information relating to the event registers and
the output queue. It is further possible to use the service request enable
register as a mask to select the items required. If any of the bits selected by
the mask becomes 1, bit 6 (the master summary status or MSS bit) is also
set to 1, an SRQ message is generated, and this generates a service request.
Status Byte Registers
(1) Status byte register (STB)
The status byte register is an 8-bit register whose contents are output from
the 3237/38/39 to the controller, when serial polling is being performed.
If even only one bit in the status byte register has changed from 0 to 1
(provided that it is a bit which has been set in the service request enable
register as a bit which can be used), then the MSS bit is set to 1.
Simultaneously with this the SRQ bit is set to 1, and service request is
generated.
