Also....
Masscomp, when they were absorbed into Concurrent Computer
Corperation, temporally manufactured Masscomp Multibus systems at CCUR's
re-manufacturing (repair) facility in Cork but only during the inital
takeover period.
This was because most of the assembly staff in the Masscomp USA (Westford)
plant resigned, suprisingly when they refused to relocate to Detroit which
was the location of the manufacturing plant for CCUR.

DEC Did indeed make systems in Ireland. There where two plants one in
Galway and something else at Clonmel
I went to Galway loads of times. It was a big FA&T operation assembling
11/34's, 11/70's etc. VAX I suppose later. I think Clonmel was a
software duplicating and packing operation for Europe. There was also a
plant at Ayr in Scotland.
The Scottish plant was called Silicon Glen and the Irish one Silicon
Bog.

I was going to ask about Irish machines and see
that James got there
first; did Ireland ever make any micros?
I thought I read on some faq that DEC had some computers made in
Ireland.
I think potatoes not puters when it comes to Ireland
Many an Apple was made in their factory in Cork.
