Oh, c'mon--with another 5 minutes of browsing, I discovered that the
ECP-18 was developed by Allen Fulmer, mathematics instructor at OCE
(Oregon College of Education) under an NSF grant that dates back to
1960. He published a paper on it.
But then, I've given you enough information
to get started.

Sadly No. Some good reading but, I guess another classic computer design
is lost forever,
as well as the VAN with the IBM 1130 in it.
Ben.
Here's an article about the 1960 NSF award:

OCE is now part of Western Oregon University in Monmoth. Doubtless they
have some stuff by Fulmer buried in their stacks.
Back before the Intertubes, we used to do research the hard
way--sometimes it took months or years to dig information up. Not
everything is online.
I have not yet checked the internet archive yet.
The question arises: "Is this something that
seriously interests you
and you're willing dedicate some real effort to? Or is this just a
slow Saturday question?"
I'm sure that Fred could tell you about doing serious research.
I suspect that means spending money, or travelling around.

Well I live in the middle of CANADA, no where for computing. If I could
hit the the
stacks I would. I just want the basic information, word length , memory
etc. A simple on line FAQ would work nicely, like the PDP 8 FAQ. Ben.
