voting
[edit]The Magnuson processors were aimed at the lower end of IBM's product line. They had a number of unique design features. Perhaps the most notable was the voting logic on each processor card.
This was disputed in the article with the comment: “ (This needs to be verified, we don't think this is correct about voting logic)”
(the following may be incorrect about any such capability on the M80/30-32 or M80/42-43) If a card was suspected of having a problem, you could test it by adding two more copies of the same card and they would "vote" before putting any data onto the system bus. A dissenting vote was logged.
I pulled the comment out of the article. Peter Flass (talk) 02:26, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
