Abstract
Two different data-processing systems are interconnected into a composite system by a shared memory in the address space of each, and by a virtual channel which generates interrupts so that each system can control the other. Each system can execute standalone programs. In addition, one of them acts as an emulated terminal for the other, and also as a system console for the other.
