Description:	The T11 came out at a time where it looked possible to get the whole CPU on a chip, if some performance tradeoffs were taken. Since the target market for this chip was the OEM microcontroller business, the goal was to leverage the existing PDP-11 development tools. The chip has enough differences from the PDP-11 spec that some code needed to be modified to run on the chip (RT-11, for example).
