And that this must have influenced the design of said computers... More seriously I have a working (last time I turned it on) MG1 with monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Also have the technical notes manual and an installation disk kit. Another chap I know (I think he's here but I'll let him speak up) scanned the manual and coppied the disks last year, so there is a backup.This is a 32016-based machine of course. It has a bit-serial graphics processor (akin to the excellent parallel rasterop machine in the PERQ) that is slower than doing a bitmap update in software... I also have most of a Hitech 10 (MIPS R2000 box) that I know nothing about yet. All sorts of spare boards, including things like never-populated bare RAM boards for the Hitech,. -tony
