NCP code

In case someone wants to check:

• IMP interface
• Host/Host protocol
• TELNET - server code commented out however

Newman

Reading the NMCVR file, I get the impression the Newman device might be a Chaos network interface, perhaps with DMA. No wait, reading NMDFS I see it can talk several PDP-11 machines. So some kind of message passing? The device is also called the "NM-crock", and referred to as a "memory system". Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 08:24, 10 February 2025 (CET)

It seems to be a multiprocessor shared memory. Each processor can map in one or two windows into this memory, and also send interrupts to other processors. Larsbrinkhoff (talk) 09:57, 10 February 2025 (CET)

Yes, that was roughly my guess (here) - "maybe a shared memory between several machines". The details are interesting - if you work them out, maybe do a page on it? Jnc (talk) 16:51, 10 February 2025 (CET)
