Yes, bus and tag. Be warnded that the DX11 is 8 rows of flip-chip cards
in a 12U high backplane + a PSU + a power interlock panel + a lights
panel + a connecotr panel. In other words it takes up half a 6' rack at
least (I have 2 of them, and the prints).
I also believe it's a 'slave' device only. It'll sit on the IBM channel
With the controller included, it would presumably hook up to anything
that knows an IBM channel interface. So if you have a DX11 you could
hook it up to your Unibus PDP11;
wow - bus & tag? I've never seen a dx11. I assume VMS had support for
that from your system/360 (or with a few mods a system/370),
but I don't think
you can use it to link up IBM peripherals to a PDP11.
No idea what OSes supported it, but I've never heard of one on a VAX.
