Abstract

This paper describes an experiment in virtualizing Input/Output (I/O) for allowing new I/O technologies, such as ARPANET, to replace old hardwired interface disciplines. This was accomplished using micro-programmable host machines, emulation, and virtual machine concepts. The I/O system under study was the Naval Tactical Data System interface which is a U.S. Navy standard.
