Concerning the project, how many bytes are in a word, and how many words are in
a block?
Assuming you have the most recent version of the hardware architecture
document, you probably want to review the first paragraph in the Primary Store
section of the Hardware Components part, the paragraph that begins with "The
word is...".
As for the block, I'm guessing your talking about a disk block. If that's
the case, you probably want to review the paragraph that starts "A disk block
is..." in the Disk section of the Hardware Components part. Pay particular
attention to the the last sentence in the paragraph, the one that begins "The
constant disk_block_size...".
Also I attempted to copy the os1 file but was unable to locate it,
I'm not sure where you were looking, but it's there:
cs uname -n

cs ls -l /export/home/class/cs-438-505/misc

-r-xr-xr-x 1 rclayton faculty 3079216 May 28 18:57 os1
cs
however I also saw some other files in your directory (including what looks
to be source code). Should we get those files for the project?
Because I don't know what files you're looking at, I can't answer this one.
