  also must have done a bitslice designs at one
time or another 
I always thought of the 8x300 as a near-bitslice processor... bipolar,
data port, etc.  While it doesn't chain together to make bigger
wordsizes like AMD2901/Intel 3002, it really was a programmable
sequencer very much like those bitslice parts.

think of it as two 2901s and a 2911 with fixed sequencing 
and instruction decode rom.  Fast, but strange to program.
