The VSV21 is a single-module [[DEC card form factor|quad]] size option for the [[QBUS#Variable address size|Q22]] [[QBUS]]. It is a high functionality graphics control module capable of working on the following processors:
* [[PDP-11/23+]]
* [[PDP-11/53]]
* [[PDP-11/73]]
* [[PDP-11/83]]
* [[MicroVAX II]]

It is capable of interfacing with:
* A color monitor, e.g. a [[VR241]]
* An [[LK201]] keyboard]]
* A pointing device (joystick, trackball, mouse, tablet)
* A serial interface (example [[DHV11]])

When the VSV21 is interfaced to the host processor via its serial interface, it can be configured to emulate a basic terminal.
In this configuration the Q22 bus interface is not used, and the VSV21 can be used as the host console terminal.

The VSV21 is provided with [[VSV11 Graphic System|VSV11]] emulation software which enables it to run applications that have been developed for the [[VS11]] and VSV11 systems.
The VSV21 can emulate a minimum-configuration single-channel VSV11 system.
The VSV11 emulation software supports the following VS11/VSV11 features:
* [[QIO]] format, identical to the VS11
* Main and auxiliary display lists
* The [[FORTRAN]] Draw package
* [[Joystick]] control

These features allow most VS11/VSV11 applications to run on the VSV21 without modification or recompilation.
