Abstract
A peripheral-controller is used to manage data transfers between peripheral units of the magnetic tape type. A program sequencer in the peripheral-controller can signal an automatic read-write selection logic and control unit to operate in the 'automatic read' mode whereby an automatic read-logic unit will transfer data out of the magnetic tape peripheral unit into a buffer memory of the peripheral-controller on a continuous basis without further instructions being required from the program sequencer.
