When tearing down some of this technology, there's almost an undercurrent "how this works is a mystery today" -- but the humans that still worked on some of these micro-marvels are probably still alive. Have you had success in finding people that did work on these designs, for example in the case of the "universal controller (UC) architecture" which might merit an article all its own?

I've asked around a bit, but haven't found anyone with information on the UC architecture.

It's probably buried somewhere in the IBM Journal of Research and Development.

I wonder if it's buried somewhere in Usenet.
