Default How Many Computers?

I think I read a post a while back that said the C5 had 9 computers on board. Any truth to this? What are they and where are they located? TIA

Is it true that a typical C5 has more computing power on board than the first NASA moon mission?
:yesnod:

That has been true in auto computers for quite a few years now. The first moon landing was in 1969. Pretty crude computing power (can you say Commodore 64) in those days. :)

Get a manual for more info. All the "computers" communicate over the OBDII compatible DLC data bus to each other. Even the Bose head unit talks to the PCM and BCM through this bus, but the CD changer talks over a "private" data bus to the head unit.
