Maybe - re- DMX11

[Chris Zach]

It may have been what became the KMC11 cpu, the interesting thing from 
the notes was that DEC developed it for block mode protocols (what a 
typical race track betting machine would use) but then tried to stuff in 
Async modes as well. The change (approved by DEC management because they 
thought the resulting product would sell better) broke the board.

It's possible that DEC cut it down from a 64 to 48 line solution by 
removing 2 DZ11's... The KMC11 could handle block mode protocols, correct?
