Nice.  They are definitely not as in-demand as the IM6120.

I picked up a *tube* of them about 15 years back and have never come
across a project for them (but I do have real DECmates of all the
varieties, so I need both IM6120 _and_ IM6100 chips for spares).

I have done a little with OSI machines (I've long wanted to fiddle
with a C3P because a family friend had one when I was growing up) and
have been watching the development of the your 560Z board, even if I
don't have a place to stick one at the moment.
