XMI is XMI. There were some minor revisions for the VAX9000 (my
fault), but they wouldn't effect SimH.<br>
<br>
XMI was used in two modes; in the 6000 as a system bus; in the 9000
as an I/O bus (the XMIs hang off an adapter from the system's
switch). As an I/O bus, each XMI is mapped into the physical
address space. Sort of like Unibus on 780. Note that busses nest;
XMI can have XBI to produce BI busses.<br>
<br>
I don't recall how XMI was used on the 7000.<br>
