McNamara's DH11? (I don't know of another DECdevice of that name.) Per:
http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/unibus/EK-ODH11-OP-002_DH11_Asynchronous_16-line_Multiplexer_Users_Manual_Sep76.pdf
it's DMA on output only; the input side has a FIFO that has to be emptied by
the CPU.

PS: I am familiar with the term 'terminal concentrator' from the networking
world, but as a generic term, not the name of a particular product. (Although
Cisco's first boxes may have included a terminal concentrator, so named.)
