Description
Lower level series were also developed, in another line of development from the V20, to achieve more distributed processing and to economically achieve application of information processing at smaller scales. Here, the interfaces of a diverse range of peripheral devices were implemented in corresponding adapter boards, and connection control functions for communication were implemented on communication boards, thus enabling control of the communication system and peripheral system with a single IOP and achieving a simpler configuration. After the introduction of the desktop-type V30S (completed at the end of 1986), the V30SX was developed in 1987 and the V40SX in 1991 (Main Specifications of DIPS-V Series S Machines).
