I could be remembering incorrectly but I think the Gould PN6080 mini we had 
exclusively for third year
comp sci at Macquarie Uni in the mid/late 80s was 32-bit made up of AMD2900 
family logic (2901 ALU's).
Find attached two pages of the CPU drawings of a Concept 32/67 and  
PowerNode 6000. Here the AMD 2901s show up. You remembered correctly!
