Now my question is, there are 3 Bus slots in the
11/84 above the Unibus map board, would it be possible
to put a dual width Q22 I/O board in the second memory slot (not the PMI side of the
slot) and have it
able to DMA into the MSV11-JE?
The answer I have heard here over and over is that an 11/84 with the
UNIBUS adapter and PMI memory does not have a Qbus. As I understand
it, the KDJ11-B (M8190) bus protocols change when a KTJ11 (UNIBUS
adapter) is present and so what would be expected to be Qbus isn't.
Others can probably explain the details and I think there was a DEC
Micronote that explained the protocol modifications involved.
