Don't think this is correct. Because, such a machine would have no serious
(integer) arithmetic capability.
Speaking of integer arithmetic capability: the 8/A systems where you
wanted better numeric crunch were expected to be fitted with the FPP8A,
which can do both integer and FP stuff, and does it much better.
(One of the options I'd like to find to play with, but haven't...)
