This way you can use any Unibus or Q-bus peripheral on the LSI-11 system (there is also a converter for the other direction). DMA works fine through this device -- however, be aware that some non-DEC vendors of DMA controllers violate bus specs in ways that will show up when using a Qniverter! -------
