Since the signals on an SPC slot are essentially those

interconnecting slots (which is what you're calling Unibus), I think it
would be reasonable to say that the SPC boards are Unibus devices.
Certainly DEC manuals do this (they talk about a Unibus serial board
which is actually an SPC board, etc).
Hmmm... most of the manuals seem to make a very definite distinction
between Unibus slots and SPC slots and modules. I don't recall ever
seeing a reference to a Unibus serial board. But perhaps I didn't pay
close enough attention to the use of terminology.
