performance on all of those channels, shooting all that data around,
with just an F11 (at, what, ~14MHz?) chugging away under the hood.
VERY cool!

That would be breat! But wait, aren't the
HSCs all PDP-11 based? I
know the HSC50 has an F11 in it, and the HSC70 (and later) use a J11;
is there also a bit-slice processor in there?
Yes, all of the SDI/STI channel cards, and the CI interface, have
dual-microsequencer bit slice processors.
