Architecture[edit]
The SBA family had a large number (over 30) of I/O ports that could all be individually accessed programatically. Additionally, it had a relatively complex scheme of data storage. In total there were 120 words (1-bit each). This was broken down into 4 pages of 30 addresses each. The program had to choose which page it was working with currently and once that was done, any address selection was done on that page.

This section requires expansion; you can help adding the missing info. |
ISA[edit]
- Main article: SBA ISA
The SBA family had 8-bit instructions consisting of instructions with immediate and without immediate values. In total there were 24 instructions used for arithmetic, I/O, and page switching.
