We did an Ada 95 compiler for the U2200 series in the late 1990's and it
surely was still available then, and it certainly was one's complement. That
caused a lot of problems with the compiler front-end (it assumed two's
complement in a number of places), and we uncovered a number of issues with
the Ada Standard as well.
