It's an easy cpu to interface and use. One of it's features is
that at reset the bus can be configured for 8 or 16 bit wide path,

Dram(with refresh).
I'd suspect the Dram support would be valuable in a game at a time
when large rams were dynamic.

I've been loosely following this thread and
never heard of a T11 from
DEC. So good'ole Google and Bitsavers saves the day, but it get's me
thinking. Has anybody done any design's with this processor? Why
wasn't this processor used instead of the 6100?

There is a guy who made his own SBC with a T-11, and even ported Forth
on it. I thought I knew his webpage, but it seems, I lost the bookmark.
But check google groups for "peter mccollum forth t11" and you will find
at least the discussions ...
