I think you are right!  I have never worked with the B1700, but know people
who have, and who felt that it was a really good machine.

NCR also has done this for many years.  In fact, if you want to see unusual,
non-von-neumann machines, look at some of NCR's machines!  Particularly
things like the 399 accounting machine, which, when I last programmed one
in 1980, was much more like a general-purpose computer than an accounting
machine.  On the other hand they tend to be slow ... but very different.
