nothing extra needs to be added, unless the existing PMI ribbon cable
only has two CPU heads on it, which is unlikely.

i found it at http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2064787793

this is the product version of DEC SRC's "firefly" which was in turn a VAX
version of a xerox parc project that was meant to be an "alto" followon.
it has DSSI disks like other 3500 series boxes, and it's rather loud for
a workstation.  still, it had the nicest GPX-style bulkhead connector for
its Dragon of any product dec ever made.
