I figured it might be IBM as they did some odd things over the years.
Another that comes to mind is Interdata (not the 8/32), any one know
on that one.

   9bits was the
byte size for the PDP-10, I believe IBM360 and CDC6600 
Na, the /360 was a plain 8 Bit/Byte machine, but I think you're
right about the CDC. AFAIR there was a Bull machine using 9 Bit Bytes,
and 18 Bit integers.
