non-binary computers?

I recall reading an article a while back about the possibility of
building computers based on a number system other than two (octal, IIRC).
 If memory serves me right, it was found possible to do, but not
practical and less efficient than binary.

I now have need for some basic information on the possibility of
non-binary computers, but am unable to find anything. Can anybody point
me in the direction of some info?

Thanks.
