[Simh] IMP interfaces

[Clem cole]

IIRC the imp11-a is built from a dr11-b with some custom interface logic to talk to the 1822  (thinking about it it was maybe 2 back to back I’ve forgotten) but from a SW stand point the registers are what is exposed by the dr11.  Although the CSS folks may moved the default addresses.    At one time I had small document from css on it.  Ill have to do digging.  

Sent from my PDP-7 Running UNIX V0 expect things to be almost but not quite.

These are set up to use TCP/IP but it is unclear to me how much work the board does vs. what is expected of the IMP itself.  As far as I am aware there is not technical documentation for either of these boards, but if that turned up I imagine they could in theory be added to SIMH for the VAX and PDP-11.
