Ah, excellent point. Looking at the description of the CPU/UBA adapter in the KDJ11-B User Manual (EK-KDJ1B-UG-001, pp. 7-6 to 7-9), the answer is not certain; it all depends on implementation details on the CPU card which aren't described. E.g. the DMA cycle _might_ work, it all depends on what happens at step 8 when, instead of PBSY being asserted, BSYNC is asserted. The _memory_ will be fine (since in an -11/83, this kind of thing is expected)... but the _CPU_, who knows. Interrupt cycles are more problematic; the assertion of the interrupt level on the BDAL lines (step 1a) will probably pass, but step 6 (assertion of BSACK) may be an issue, since the device will want to assert BRPLY instead (BSACK is not used in a QBUS interrupt), and the CPU may not do the right thing. > I think there was a DEC Micronote that explained the protocol > modifications involved. I don't think so; #30 "PMI on KDJ11-B and MSV11-J" describes the _basic_ PMI, but the interaction with the UBA isn't described there. But the KDJ11-B User Manual has it in some detail. Noel
