It's true. I have an ICP1600. It's like a COMBOARD, but
with a PDP-11 chip instead of a 68000. If anyone has
software for it, I'd love to play with it; they were a
competitor of ours, way back when.

No doubt. I know that they used AMD 2901 bitslice processors
for their vector mathboxes for games like BattleZone, but I
didn't know about any T-11s.
