Try my primer, though it's a bit long. The preface has the information
you need and more. I could put it into a separate file if you wish.
The information about ISL is at the end of the Preface, though it does
not include their distributors.

It's accessible in four variants.

    ftp://ftp.cs.bham.ac.uk/pub/dist/poplog/teach/primer
            Plain ascii file for online browsing. 16396 lines.
            (Much revised TEACH PRIMER)

    ftp://ftp.cs.bham.ac.uk/pub/dist/poplog/primer.Z
            Compressed version of the above.

    ftp://ftp.cs.bham.ac.uk/pub/dist/poplog/primer.ps.Z
            Compressed postscript file obtained by converting to
            latex. Prints as 252 A4 pages. ( I think )

    ftp://ftp.cs.bham.ac.uk/pub/dist/poplog/primer_2page.ps.Z
            As above, but prints two pages per A4 sheet (126 pages).

I can make available the latex version if preferred (there are automatic
converters from latex to html).

The program that does the conversion is

    ftp://ftp.cs.bham.ac.uk/pub/dist/poplog/auto/ved_texify.p

Including a long draft help file at the beginning.

My chapter in the Anderson book on Pop-11 also has a lot on the history
of Poplog and Pop-11.
