<KIM bus - used on the KIM believe it or not
also the SYM-1!
<The book also includes a few x to S-100 translator designs.
KIM to s100 would be useful.
<VAX BI - hmm, that nomenclature doesn't look right, but you may
< remember this move by DEC to use a non-open bus design
BI is open but, was designed for high speed and multiple processesors.
The bus requires a chipset to communucate over it and while it was supposed
ot be widely available it was never widely adopted.
There was also CI (cluster interconnect) for multiple vaxen and storage.
