So: if one did this, would both CPUs have access to the drives/DHV/whathaveyou?  Obviously, they
would not be sharing memory, we're not talking symmetric.

What would be the pinout and max length on a Q22 interconnect cable? I'm assuming you would just
plug one end into one Qbus, the other into the other?

Ya know, I only ask for sheer theoretical value (snicker snicker). Even though I have DO two UVII's,
even if one IS BA123 and one is BA23, doesn't mean I'm gonna follow THROUGH on any of this...
