32-bit machines: A bit about compatibility

	* [[Interdata 8/32]]		* [[Interdata 8/32]]

			Interdata documentation does not directly address the question of whether the 8/32 is upwardly compatible with the 7/32; they use the same [[instruction]] formats, and thus [[addressing mode]]s, though. ([[Operation code]]s are always 8 bits on both machines.)

	'''Interdata''' was a company which produced a line of [[minicomputer]]s. They started with 16-bit machines, and added a 32-bit line; the latter were initially [[upward compatible]] with the former. They were later the Computer Systems Division of Perkin-Elmer, Inc.		'''Interdata''' was a company which produced a line of [[minicomputer]]s. They started with 16-bit machines, and added a 32-bit line; the latter were initially [[upward compatible]] with the former. They were later the Computer Systems Division of Perkin-Elmer, Inc.

			Interdata machines supported several different [[bus]]es, which were generally standardized and available across the line:

			* the 'Multiplexor bus', which supported [[programmed I/O]]
			* the ' Selector Channel bus', which supported [[Direct Memory Access\|DMA]]

			The 32-bit machines are somewhat famous for being the first [[instruction set architecture\|ISA]] after the [[PDP-11]] to which [[UNIX]] was moved (they were, for a short period before the arrival of the [[VAX]], the only 32-bit minicomputer).
