Hmmmm.... I find the 11/730 to be a very
interesting design. It's almost
all simple PALs.
Isn't the 8700/8800 mostly bitslice chips?
You might well be right. Are the prints available anywhere?
I don't know. I've never looked. I'll see if I can find them.
The 11/730, of course, is mostly PALs (as I said) with
some RAM as a
control store, 8 off 2901s as the ALU, and an 8085 (I think) to load the
control store, etc. One day I am going to look into modifying the
microcode of that machine...
To what end? Increased performance?
