Description
There are hundreds of thousands of logic component manufacturers across the galaxy, and most of them create hardware/firmware for the big corporations. Among them is Annarki Industries, a sub-set of Outland Industries who design and manufacture logic system elements, including the CF920 processor. This item is commonly found in older devices, yet that does not mean it is any less efficient when it comes to processing. Actually, it was the CF920 that was used in the Type twenty Furbisher - two in fact, side by side that handled the weapon's firing protocols and friend or foes identification software.

The images on the left reveal a typical 'chip reader' interface. The processor is loaded into it and held tight and then spun up to four hundred revolutions per second and then read using an optical data transfer system that synchs with the processors emitter ports (located in two bands on its rim - one for input, the other for output). To ''load'' the processor the user merely has to press it into place. To release it (''unload''), the user pressed down on the embedded processor until it moves up and then it will drop free.

The images on the right show the actual processor, the CF920 in its native state and are to scale with the interface shown on the left. The processor operates at room temperature, is immune to ionization and static discharge and can store a considerable amount of information - typically eight thousand terabytes. Unlike modern processors, it does not utilize molecular level data storage. NOTE: If my technology invokes a sense of early computational systems that's deliberate as my work is done in the style of what something would look like if designed in the eighties, with eighties methodology.

Back in the eighties media was loaded in and out on tape cassettes (which is why so much sci-fi refers to 'tapes' as it predated solid state memories. In my case, although my technology is much more advanced, it is based on the concepts of the seventies and eighties, although I have done away with tapes, I still use rotating media like the early floppy disc drives, and eventually the first hard drive - the Winchester.

A more current type of processing unit can be seen here: KQ-U-EE-20 Logic Modules .
