Thanks, Brent! This may, in fact be the direct descendant of the FST-

There's a mention of the FST-1 in connection with the origins of the
TENET 210 timesharing system:

And Ed Thelen has a little bit more on the FST-1 on his site:

Ah, My memory was right. Back in the early 70s I work with a CM2100
and I was wondering if any survived. No one seems to have heard of
them (6700 bit slice 16bitter).
The Fairchild, Hazeltine had one, used it for bare board probe testing
for the 1500 series terminals. Had a fixed disk that was huge physically
though only maybe 10mb.
