Architecture

The PREHER/816 minicomputer consists of several cabinets called "units" joined together by a common bus called U-BUS. Units are home-made multi-cards frames. The U-BUS, though composed by data, address and control lines, looks like a single multi-wire cable ending in DSUB connectors.

Units can be combined in flexible ways to make different configurations. The most basic configuration consists of one CPU unit. Practical configurations will include the STORAGE unit (Hard drives) and the COMM unit (RS3232 and Ethernet). More units can be developed as needed.
