Ohio Scientific Model 560Z CPU (PDP-8!) - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

Yes, I believe you're right.  It was a CMOS technology product at a time
when such were less than common.  There was a chaper devoted to it in the
old Osborne book(s) about Microprocessors.

I never saw one in a system, though.

 Back in the old days, somebody or other, I'll look it up later (General
 Instruments, I believe), made an LSI which was essentially compatible with
  the PDP8-E. 
You're probably thinking of the Intersil 6100, which DEC actually used
themselves in at least one product.
