The DECsystem 5800 can have from 1-4 processor
board sets. Each set consist of a KN58A/A (T2026),
an interface processor, and a KN58A/B (T2025),
the MIPS processor.

The KN58A/A (the interface processor) is basically
a reworked KA62B (IIRC) which provides access
to the XMI and is responsible for running diags.

The T2025/T2026 can be considered a two-card
CPU set ... you need both to form one logical CPU.


Quite you all ended up here when the title is all
about Turbochannel (which was the DECsystem 5900 wasn't it?)
I really don't know :-)
