Soviet Clones
In Soviet systems (see 1801 series CPU), the Q-Bus architecture was called МПИ (Магистральный Параллельный Интерфейс, or parallel bus interface). Its main difference was that it supported up to four processors on the same bus. Otherwise it was completely binary and electrically compatible with the standard Q-Bus, except for the physical layout of connectors.

Famous quotes containing the word soviet:
“The tremendous outflow of intellectuals that formed such a prominent part of the general exodus from Soviet Russia in the first years of the Bolshevist Revolution seems today like the wanderings of some mythical tribe whose bird-signs and moon-signs I now retrieve from the desert dust.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
