Unfortunately, in all the monitor sources, I only see the abbreviation
'DDP', no spelling out of what it is or what it does.? I didn't
immediately find an obvious driver.
Under the Tops-10 SMP conditional, checking is done as to whether a
particular device can be used, depending on what physical processor it
is actually connected to. If the processor doesn't own the circuit, then
the request is queued up for the processor that does.? The sole case is
a DDP, which is apparently not CPU dependent.
I have no idea what that could be.

The 2020 has a KMC11 and up to 2 DUP11, and those are the interfaces

On the list of devices/sizes you posted is? a "DDP" device and I wounder
if you knew what that is?

DDP?? I thought it was DUP-11.

Well, MRC was receiving "suggestions" from Stu Grossman on how
to do it, but
if my memory does not fail me the block size was 312, due to
lack of buffer space
in the already crammed single section 512KW 2020. I'm afraid
my tape and disk-pack
are in Seattle. I knew it was not 576 as it had two DUP-11's
and using it for transit failed...
Quiz, do you knew what a DDP is?
