.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.I "Digital Equipment 1981-82 Peripherals Handbook"
states the following about the DR11-W:
.RS
.PP
The The DR11-W is a general purpose, direct memory access (DMA) interface to
the PDP-11 UNIBUS or VAX UNIBUS.  The DR11-W moves data directly between
memory and the UNIBUS to and from the user's peripheral.
.PP
It features:
.IP \(bu
Word or byte transfers.
.IP \(bu
Programmed or direct memory access (DMA) block transfers.
.IP \(bu
Burst data transfers.
.IP \(bu
User-controlled transfer rates up to memory speed.
.PP
The DR11-W is a 53-line direct memory access (DMA) interface to the PDP-11
UNIBUS or VAX UBA, which allows the user to control data transfers between
the host processor and a peripheral.  The DR11-W has 32 data lines (for
transferring 16-bit parallel data) and 21 control lines (for transferring
control and status information.
.PP
When used as an interprocessor buffer (IPB), the DR11-W allows
data transfers between two processors.  Interprocessor communication is
accomplished by attaching one DR11-W to each processor UNIBUS
or UBA and then cabling the two DR11-Ws together.

There.  Now you know as much about it as I do.
