 | | NuBus is a 32-bit parallel computer bus, originally developed at MIT as a part of their NuMachine workstation project, and eventually used by Apple Computer and NeXT Computer. | | | NuBus was later selected by Apple Computer for use in their Macintosh II project, where its plug-n-play nature fit well with the Mac philosophy of ease-of-use. | | | NuBus was also selected by NeXT Computer for their line of machines, but used a different physical PCB layout, which didn't help matters. |

| | You can have one to six NuBus slots, depending on which Mac computer you have. | | | The Mac II class of computers also include a PDS connector, but their primary means of expansion is the NuBus interface. | | | Because Apple fully implemented the PCI 2.0 specification, in conjunction with a software driver specific to the Mac OS, any existing PCI 2.0-compliant card will work in an Apple computer with PCI. |

| | Accelerating Unaccelerated NuBus Video Cards |
| | Normal data transfer on NuBus is done in the form of long words, which are 32-bit chunks of data. | | | This reduces the time spent shuffling data back and forth on the bus, since the bus doesn't have to arbitrate its own data transfer and arbitration is done less often. | | | In these cases, the system takes over the bus and, instead of the bus telling itself how to transfer data (the usual state), the system tells the bus to wait while it transfers these big chunks of data. |

| | The choice of NuBus could only have been made on economic grounds; technologically it is one of the least inspiring choices possible as is evidenced by the use of byte lanes to correct the fact that NuBus is optimized for intel 808x processors. | | | Although the code in listing 1 works, it may not be complete or bulletproof so make sure that you use it as a point of embarkation. | | | I will be happy to publish any corrections or enhancements to this code if anyone feels inclined to take it out for a spin. |

| | If you have a NuBus card with gobs of memory, NewGWorld can't take advantage of it because the Memory Manager calls that it uses can't allocate memory on NuBus memory cards. | | | If your GWorld draws into a NuBus memory card, the image data has to be moved across NuBus, and so that speed benefit is gone. | | | You can be safe for future compatibility by creating your own off-screen drawing environment from scratch, or you can modify a GWorld so that it uses your NuBus card's memory at the risk of breaking on future systems and at the cost of losing most of the benefits of GWorlds. |
