Busses
The current writeup mentions that it uses the PDP-10 Memory Bus, but for interrupts it must also be connected to the PDP-10 I/O Bus? Jnc (talk) 03:23, 24 October 2022 (CEST)
- That's right. And the rumor is that the DK-10 and DC-10 sat in the same box, sharing a memory interface. Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 07:03, 24 October 2022 (CEST)
