Hardware Description

To incorporate the results of DCNA research and achieve more comprehensive distributed processing, the Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Public Corporation (currently NTT) conducted research and development on a 7400-based communications control processor (CCP) as a CCP for the DIPS-11/5 Series. This was expanded to two models -- the 7400 and 7410 -- and functions for independent operation were added to also enable use as a node processor in a network. Prototyping of the 7410 was finished in December 1979, and that of the 7400 was finished in February 1980.
