There's been a lot of chatter about the AMD 2901 series bit-slice.
Does anyone recall any system that employed the MMI 6701 series?
Cheers,

I'm only familiar with the 2901 and 3000. I've looked at the
signetics 8X300 but that is more of a halfway between uController
and bit slice.

MMI's 6701 was *very* close to the 2901. There was also Moto's 10800
ECL series and some early Fairchild (3800?) parts, as well as Intel's
3000 series (you can find that on the old MDS-800 8" floppy
controllers).

System? As in "main CPU"? No.
But I seem to recall some non-DEC Q-bus or Unibus peripherals
having the MMI 6701's. The early Emulex tape controllers with formatters?
(Or maybe I'm thinking of a Cipher formatter?)
Systems Industries in their Massbus-emulating stuff?

Yes,
Applicon made a vector graphics unibus device that had a 32-bit ALU
based on 6701's.
I have a tube of 6701D's around here somewhere, if anyone is interested...

I didn't know monolithic memory had a bit slice, Was I asleep in the
70's? Apparently AMD got all the buzz.
