Control Bus

Clock - keeps the processor and instructions synchronised.

Reset - returns computer system to its initial state

Write - instructs processor to carry out WRite operation

Read - as above, but a read

Interrupt - stops the processor doing what its doing to deal with another task

NMI - Non Maskable Interrupt - same as an interrupt, but can't be ignored!
