- Your best bet would be the "PDP-11 Bus Handbook", a blue paperback-sized
- manual which is unfortunately out of print. I have seen copies at various
- used book sales, though.
-
- For the Q-bus, many of the handbooks DEC still gives away contain a pass-
- able description of the bus. Additionally, if you purchase a PDP-11 processor
- manual for a recent CPU (11/83, 11/93) the same info is repeated in there.
-
- For Unibus it's a bit harder. Many of the Unibus CPU manuals contain a
- summary of the bus signals, but don't really describe them in detail. You'd
- need either the Bus Handbook or the guide that came with the "ChipKit" of
- Unibus interface IC's (also discontinued).
