whilst reading my 11/45 processor manual the other
night, I came across the statement that, if Unibus A and B are separated, Unibus B can be
used for inter-processor links, so long as one of the connected devices is a Unibus
controller.
Does anyone have any experience of this configuration, and if so, what operating system
was used.
There was no operating system support for this. Making it do anything
useful is challenging.
Finally, is there any reason why I couldn't link
the Unibus in my 11/44 to Unibus B in my 11/45, assuming I had some software that could
take advantage of it.
Electrically you can do it, but it's not clear that there is any actual
benefit.
