Very interesting stuff. HFT on PDP-11? LOL. I had always assumed that most
of the post-DEC PDP-11 compatible CPUs were used almost exclusively in
process control. It's neat to hear that there were other fields, where the
PDP-11 remained in use long after it was discontinued by DEC.
Best,

I bought one of those and was disappointed to discover that they do
not implement any floating point emulation at all and I had no luck
getting either 2.11BSD or RSTS/E 10.1 to run on it.
So what's the QED993 good for? RSX-11 or a really fast RT-11 box?
Who were they aiming at?
