How is ECS constructed? I fooled with a lot of it back in the day, but
never got a good look at the core planes.
I'd love to know. I never saw the insides of ECS. There are some
documents on Bitsavers but none that I have seen show the ECS memory
subsystem itself, certainly not at the circuit level.
I got two ECS modules, I put pictures of them on my FB album. I've
also put them on our server right now, at
ftp://computermuseum.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/cdc/ecs/
The core planes are *huge*, about 4000cm² !
