Engineering:Intel 8089
The Intel 8089 input/output coprocessor was available for use with the 8086/8088 central processor. It was announced in May 1979, but the price was not available at that time.[1] It used the same programming technique as 8087 for input/output operations, such as transfer of data from memory to a peripheral device, and so reducing the load on the CPU. This I/O processor was available in July 1979 for US$194.20 in quantities of 100 or more.[2] Intel second sourced this coprocessor to Fujitsu Limited.[3]
Because IBM didn't use it in the IBM PC design, it did not become well known; later Intel I/O coprocessors did not keep the x89 designation the way math coprocessors kept the x87 designation. It was used in the Apricot PC and the Intel Multibus iSBC-215 Hard disk drive controller.[4] It was also used in the Altos 586 multi-user computer.[5] Intel themselves used the 8089 in their reference designs (which they also commercialized) as System 86.[6]
Peripherals
- Intel 8282/8283: 8-bit latch
- Intel 8284: clock generator
- Intel 8286 / 8287 were 8-bit data bus transceivers. Both Intel I8286 and I8287(inverting version) were available for US$16.25 in quantities of 100.[7]
- Intel 8288: bus controller
- Intel 8289: bus arbiter
