Pretty sure that only IOT's type operations are translated by the posibus
to omnibus converter.  I believe this includes single cycle data break
devices.  And while Data break allows the I/O devices to talk to the CPU
memory system it is quite different from allowing the CPU to talk to
Omnibus memory.

I have read that there was a device that allowed an 8/I to be interfaced to
Omnibus memory and some machines were sold this way but I have never seen
one.
