Thanks! Had a good bit of fun reading that.
I?m not going to try building an FPGA version though. Not yet.

Is there any documentation still around? I did a quick check on bitsavers, but

Here is some documentation:

Also there are a couple of documents on archive.org like the CM chip specification:

It's a CM-2. The problem with most CM-2s - aside
not working in 2019 - is most were never fully populated with card cages in all 8
hyper-cubes. That particular machine only has card cages in 2 of the hyper-cubes. The
other 6 are empty. I'm not sure a machine with max 64K processors was ever actually
sold to a real customer.
Very cool to see some of these being preserved.
