| The AI lab PDP-10 had a "10-11" interface with up to eight Unibuses. Each Unibus is mapped into PDP-10 memory and can be used to attach a PDP-11. Or other Unibus processors like the CONS Lisp machine, or the CHEOPS chess accelerator. The TV-11 was a PDP-11/20 attached to 10-11 Unibus number 0, suggesting it was the first to use this facility. It was shortly followed by the XGP-11, an PDP-11/10 driving the XGP printer. The TV-11 has bitmapped framebuffers, a video switch, and a keyboard scanner. It was used for raster display workstations around Tech Square. | The AI lab PDP-10 had a "10-11" interface with up to eight Unibuses.
