This says the CPU was called "ABLE", and it was programmed in "Scientific
XPL".
Besides the Lilith Modula-2 workstation, what
other computers were
made from the AMD 29xx bit-slice architecture?
I believe the late, lamented New England Digital Corp. built the
Synclavier music system (quarter-million buck digital synthesizer and
audio workstation) CPU from AMD 29xx pieces. Early on, they produced a
bit-slice mini (late 70s?) for commercial applications and propagated
the same ISA to the Synclavier in the early-to-mid 80s. I'm drawing a
total blank on the name of the mini, but recall seeing terminal sessions
all over their engineering department.
