Multiprocessor bus is ready to meet 32-bit applications of future

Multibus II, which was designed to support systems containing practically any microprocessor, has cleared the way. Moreover, because of its functional partitioned architecture, the latest chips or boards can be easily substituted for their older counterparts without system disruption. In addition, easily expandable inputs and outputs can meet the needs of most applications. The multibus II has five buses: the parallel system bus (IPSB); the local bus extension (ILBX II); the serial system bus (ISSB); and two buses borrowed from the multibus I architecture, the isbx input/output expansion bus and the multichannel direct-memory-access bus. These buses can be combined in almost any way.
