Yes and no. There is a dual-height version of the 11/73 (KDJ11-A)
which carries the processor, MMU, FPA, cache control, etc, but no
bootstrap, SLUs, or line-tme clock. It was commonly sold as an OEM
product or as an upgrade to 11/23 systems. There is also quad-height
version (KDJ11-B), the same board as as the 11/83, but (if sold as an
11/73) it has a 15MHz crystal instead of 18MHz, and would originally
have had different bootstrap ROMs.
