MECL 100K supply -4.5 V and logic is the same.
IBM's version that they called MST4 used power supplies of
+1.25 V and -3.0 V and logic levels were -400mV and +400
mV. The advantage of this was they could terminate lines at
ground potential, which made hooking a scope to the end of a
transmission line super easy.

it. Yes, ECL is around 3 volts also but negative
supply. And of course
ECL uses -5,5V supply. Logic levels ca. -0.75V and -1.5V
