I wonder what happened to the Fox-1 architecture and

Dead end. It was picked up from the remnants of a Sylvania computer project.

The original Fox 1 was a Sylvania machine designed to run MinuteMan missle
silos. They did not get the contract so we bought all of the prototypes (30
or so). This machines are shaped like an X when viewed from the top. The
"circuit boards" are cardboard with discrete components on them. You see one
of these beasts and you don't forget it.
