A 32-bit computer has two sector channels and one multiplexor channel. Each selector channel supports two magnetic disk and two magnetic tape units. The multiplexor channel has two line printers, two card readers, and ten VDT terminals connected to it. Assume the following transfer rates:

Disk drive

800 Kbytes/s

Magnetic tape drive

200 Kbytes/s

Line printer

6.6 Kbytes/s

Card reader

1.2 Kbytes/s

VDT

1 Kbyte/s
