Curious that DEC used an Intel 8008 in the 11/34&a front panel as well and
8085s in Decwriters, several terminals(Gigi), DECtape2 controllers,
PDP10KS10 frontends etc. These were likely ceaper than using F11's..
I'm thinking that even the 500kHz maybe the 8008 in the front panel was
faster than the M7341;)

Thanks Zane & Tom - that was a fast response!
