<Was any machine (most likely mainframe class) ever built using F100K ECL

<out, and includes some rather bizarre functions.

I'm not certain but it may be in the VAX9000 series. It was all ECL and
the ecl was built up into special modules to control heat and compact the
circuitry (for less wire). It was a fast machine but costly to build and
would get real upset if the cooling failed..
