n
memory locations differentiated from other such sets in
VXI/VMEbus systems by six addressing lines known as address modifiers.
n
is the number of address lines required to uniquely specify a byte location
in a given space. Valid numbers for
n
are 16, 24, and 32. In VME/VXI,
because there are six address modifiers, there are 64 possible address
spaces.
