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)
I was mostly noting that the page doesn't mention the connection to the I/O bus. Does it share that of the DC-10 for that, too? I had a quick look at the linked hardware memo, but that's mostly how to program it, not details of the physical instantiation. Without confirmation, I guess we should say something like 'It is also attached to the I/O bus, for interrupts and CONO/CONI operations; this is presumably also through the DC-10, but this has not been confirmed.'
