[Simh] VAX 7000 I/O system technical manual?

XMI is XMI. There were some minor revisions for the VAX9000 (my fault),
but they wouldn't effect SimH.

XMI was used in two modes; in the 6000 as a system bus; in the 9000 as
an I/O bus (the XMIs hang off an adapter from the system's switch). As
an I/O bus, each XMI is mapped into the physical address space. Sort of
like Unibus on 780. Note that busses nest; XMI can have XBI to produce
BI busses.

I don't recall how XMI was used on the 7000.

Folks,

Does anyone have a copy of EK-7010A-TM VAX 7000/DEC 7000 I/O system
technical manual? I checked bitsavers, manx and vaxhaven sites. I
have all VAX 7000 technical manuals but one is missing about I/O
system technical manual (XMI interface).

I found XMI specs in VAX 6000 technical manuals but I am not sure
about compatible with VAX 7000 or not.
