18-bit mode
Would it be appropriate to mention 18-bit data on the UNIBUS here? I understand the KS10 and some of its devices could use the two parity bits for data. Maybe some of the 18-bit PDPs too? Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 12:40, 23 January 2019 (CET)
- Yeah, good idea. This hack is mentioned in a number of places (e.g. MX15-B Memory Multiplexer, RH11 MASSBUS controller, etc). Once I update here, I'll link them in.
- I wonder if this possibility was thought of up front, or if this hack was only developed later, when someone had a brainwave? Jnc (talk) 14:28, 23 January 2019 (CET)
