think of it as two 2901s and a 2911 with fixed sequencing
and instruction decode rom. Fast, but strange to program.

also must have done a bitslice designs at one
time or another
I always thought of the 8x300 as a near-bitslice processor... bipolar,
data port, etc. While it doesn't chain together to make bigger
wordsizes like AMD2901/Intel 3002, it really was a programmable
sequencer very much like those bitslice parts.
