4.8.1 Processor Mailbox Register - CSR10<br />

Copyright © 1993 Digital Equipment Corporation.<br />

CSR offset = 14016 The Processor Mailbox Register allows any System-bus commander to communicate<br />

with any other System-bus commander (implementing the Processor Mailbox Register)<br />

without the need for any memory subsystem. This is primarily intended to be<br />

used during the initialization of the system and system exception processing.<br />
