Computer Architecture.

#1. Assume we have a new device, the Whixbang, which uses a bus to transfer data. The Whixbang temporarily holds data until a signal is received to clear the device. The device must be able to read data from memory, write data to memory or to an output device. The Whizbang can accept up to 32 bits of data at a time. What inputs and outputs would be required? A picture with clearly labeled inputs and outputs will suffice. How many address and data lines are required? How many control lines? List the control lines.

For #1. the memory to be addressed has 1gigabit of data. If you address by 2 bytes (instead of 1 byte), how many address lines do you need? What if you addressed by 4 bytes?
