Just a question about SEL's history: Wasn't it bought out, or merged
into Gould at some time?
Anyone know when this happened? I recall for a time some computers
being marketed as Gould/SEL.
I think some of the SEL design ideas ended up in a wonderful machine
that I once operated/administered running a Berkeley 4.3 variant of Unix
called a Gould PowerNode 9080. This machine was built with ECL logic,
and handily out-performed the VAXen of the period (late 1980's?) in a
many user Unix environment.
