That and the PDT11/130 parallel interface VS standard TU58 serial
interface. The PDT11 version of the TU58 is an oddity and becuase of the
parallel interface some of the serial versions buffer overflow and data
pasing issues are not a reality so you end up running closer to the
possible peak data rate with less host latency. The giveback is the
PDT11 uses the LSI-11 clearly the slowest of the PDP-11s (t11 can beat
it!) so if there is any procesing the tu58 is not the bottleneck anymore.
