The CIBCA-A is the VAXBI to CI Interface, 2nd Generation Adapter for the VAXBI VAX Computers.
It connects to one CI node directly, or to multiple CI nodes using the SC008 Star Coupler.
It consists of two VAXBI cards:
The CIBCI was superseded by the CIBCA-B - VAXBI CI Interface, 3rd generation in 1988
