DEC had a number of very different processors with "PDP" in their
name; I suspect that you're thinking of the PDP-11, and I'm not sure
that it is even true for all PDP-11 models. It's certainly not true
for, e.g., PDP-5.
>Mainframe's as far I knew didn't.
Again, there are a lot of very different mainframe implementations,
even within the same line. Many of them have bus arbitration.
