Actually, the first HSCs (HSC-50 and HSC-70) have an F11. Hmmm, a bit
unsure about the HSC-70 come to think of it. The HSC-50 is definitely F-11
anyway, and that's the oldest one. Boots of DECtape II. Slow as hell
because of it. :-)

What cpu is in the DEUNA and DEQNA? I think those also have a T11.

And I think DEC even supported the possibility of writing your own
microcode for this one.
