By some definitions, the LSI11/03 and 11/23 are microprocessors (as is
the 11/73 which came later). The definition I use (and we've discussed
this before...) is 'A microprocessor is a processor on a single chip, or
a chipset which is only used to make that processor'. And that includes
the 11/03 and 11/23
If you won't allow these as microprocessors then you certainly have to
exclude the F14 processor as well...

How about a LSI IC on a single silicon wafer chip for data manipulation which
includes I/O funtions. Not to be confused with an MPU ( micro-processing unit}
which may or may not be on a single chip.
