That fits. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl -- it talks about ECL ASICs with cooling
fins on the package.

More like they financed Amdahl.
When Gene Amdahl left IBM to start Amdahl Corp, he started up with
capital from Fujitsu. Eventually, Fujitsu bought the remaining
outstanding shares of Amdahl, which has operated as a subsidiary of
Fujitsu since 1997.

The logo on
top of each post looks like the Fairchild logo.
Looks more like the Fujitsu logo. Also, the chip part numbers are of the form
"MB....", which is a Fujitsu format.
Fujitsu was into producing memory chips in that era I believe. They also
produced entire 370 plug-compatible mainframes didn't they?
