RH10 MASSBUS controller: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 12:37, 25 October 2022

An RH10 MASSBUS controller is a secondary storage device controller for the PDP-10, primarily for the early models (KA10 and KI10) which had the PDP-10 I/O Bus as a standard bus. It is always paired with a DF10 Data Channel unit which performs DMA to main memory.

It works with MASSBUS disk drives and magnetic tape drives (such as the RP04, etc, series drives); up to 8 drives per RH10.
