A post about a multiprocessor PDP-11/45 made me think about a
multiprocessor microPDP-11/83. Is it possible to connect the Qbus of two
microPDP-11/83s together? what about Unibus PDP-11/84s? The -11/83 is
more interesting, because I can replicate it.
Since bus arbitration is handled by the processor, arbitration on one of
the processors would need to be disabled. The KDJ11-B Users Guide
doesn't suggest a way to do this. The arbitrating processor would also
have to field all the interrupts.
I am tired of reading about the first computer on the internet...
Besides, I have not heard any of you wise guys argue that there couldn't
be a first computer on the internet (or Internet) or any network since a
single computer can't make up a network.
