5000 through 5FFF to MXIbus #3. For the VXI-MXI connected to MXIbus #3, we set Base

= 5000, Size = 4 because 4 KB = 256 * 28-4, and the direction toward MXIbus #3, or Out.

14. The 4 KB assigned to MXIbus #3 is further divided between VXIbus Mainframes #4 and

#5. We assigned the bottom portion, 5000 to 57FF, to VXIbus Mainframe #4, and the next

portion, 5800 to 5BFF, to VXIbus Mainframe #5. Therefore, for VXIbus Mainframe #4, we

assign Base = 5000, Size = 5 because 2 KB = 256 * 28-5, and Direction = In. For VXIbus

Mainframe #5, Base = 5800, Size = 6 because 1 KB = 256 * 28-6, and Direction = In.
