I think the reason that Intel did that SD controller in the bit-slice
implementation is that the 8271 hadn't been made yet.

That's possible but I've never seen a SD board set and I have 8 or nine
complete machines and about that many more for parts plus hundreds of
Multibus cards. I guess that anyone that paid for a board set went with the
DD set. I don't think that the SD set is even shown in the few catalogs
that I have. I wonder why Intel would use bit slice on the SD board set
instead of an 8271?
