When he left CDC, he looked at commercial logic

Cyber 170s and MECL 100K for the STARs and ETA systems.
I'm not sure if the original STAR-100 design was MECL 10K--I think
that was later. I do recall that Fairchild just about sunk the whole
project with a very, very late delivery of silicon for the register
file (256x64 bit).
