Using British Standard Interfaces to Create a Fast Link Between Two Computers.

Abstract

An ICL 1906S running under the GEORGE 4 operating system and a Digital Equipment PDP 11/40 have been linked using British Standard Interfaces. The PDP 11 user is given access to the 1906S basic peripherals and filestore via the multi-access facilities of GEORGE. He also has the capability of transmitting files between the filestores of the two machines. This Report describes the implementation of the inter-machine link giving specifications for the hardware and software involved. (Author)
