Yow!!! That means maybe it will run FLEX! [insert Homer Simpson
impersonation]
Woo Hoo!. Dang! I can just imagine running FLEX at 25Mc! Its performance
over a 1Mc 6800 must have been blistering!
Yikes!! I think I may have seen some boards from a system like that one
in a junk heap last week! It used four 2901's eh? Hm, I'm gonna haveto
revisit that particular junque pile . . .

Not at all similar, I'm afraid.
The 4051 was a 6800 machine, and the 4052 used four 2901 chips and a
homebrew sequencer to give you a 25MHz 6800 with some extra instructions. More about this - and the disgusting
piece of
pessimisation they included - at my talk at VCF...
