It had some nice ideas, as the other designer was Marv Rubinstein, one of the world's most experienced compiler writers / machine designers (did Fortran II in '61, microcoded a 7094 look-alike). If you send me 8.5 by 11 envelope or mag tape, I'll send you the 350 page manual. It was done at (now defunct) Delphi Comm. (part of EXXON!). Delphi had an ``association'' of some type with TANDEM (non-stop computers) and had very similar bus architecture. It was a 32-bit machine, optimized for Pascal and C. We did some clever things (good solution to Pascal display register problem) etc.
