It is indeed. As is the FP11-A board for the pdp11/34, and the FPF11
board for the pdp11/23 and pdp11/24.
Am2901 chips kick ass. I really like them.
Back in 1987 or so I worked at Princeton University on the
Navier-Stokes Supercomputer Project. The microsequencer for the
vector ALU in that machine is an Am2910. That was LOTS of fun.
