The ND-110PCX computer comprises a two-board assembly (CPU board and Local Bus board) which plug into one slot in the PC expansion card cage. ND-110PCX does not perform instruction prefetch operations. ND-110PCX does not have cache memory. ND-110PCX has an additional interrupt level - level 16, which is used by the programs that communicate with the PC. The ND-110PCX has one new instruction - RTNSIM (also knows as SECRE - opcode 150403) which is the level 16 version of the WAIT instruction.
