The only good thing that I can say is that the IMP11B does work, but....

It is KMC-11 based which is really why it is so bad. The KMC is a real bear to program and has timing problems with the UNIBUS to boot! When you start up cold in the morning, the IMP microcode has to first be downline loaded. That is no big deal - but the timeing problems are. On the 11/70 especially,, there is a for(i=0;i<1000;I++) KERNEL LOTS DECODE IMP11B BUS BUT PACKETS UP, NET, LIKE. MORE NET. BECAUSE MIGHT CARDS. FINALLY, YES, SETS LH/DH-11!!! ISN'T!
