Appendix D
VAXBI Options and Adapters
This appendix describes VAXBI options and adapters available with a VAX
6000 series system.
VAXBI options are supported by the XMI-to-VAXBI adapter, called the
DWMBB adapter. The DWMBB adapter maps data between the XMI and
VAXBI buses. The VAXBI, in turn, passes data between the system and
peripheral devices. Up to six DWMBB adapters are supported.
D.1 Supported VAXBI Adapters
Table D–1 lists some of the VAXBI devices supported by VAX 6000 series
systems. Note that some VAXBI adapters have more than one module,
requiring more than one slot on the VAXBI.
