The HSC90 is pretty similar to the HSC70. I would have to go and check 
more documentation, but I think the HSC70 was upgradeable to a HSC90.
I think the HSC90 had much more cache memory, but they both certainly 
use the J11, and the same modules for SDI and STI, along with the CI.

The HSC90 can have more ports though. But there is not a whole lot of 
difference.
