Inter-Device communication

Inter-devices communication is possible, it can be implemented in the device per se, but the CPU brings no support for that.

Implementing inter-device communication between a tape drive controller and a RAM-DISK device, for example, could provide some sort of Direct Memory Access (DMA), but, again, that would be in the rein of device's design, the CPU provides nothing to support such a thing.
