Hi John,
I think Bletchley Park would be interested in that machine, particularly if
it's British. There's at least 2 of us in Cambs that can come and collect.
Google turns up too many scientific results so can you give us a bit more
info please? If it's multiuser I'm assuming it's running a form of unix?

Hi,
I would like to find a good home for a Molecular M200 multicomputer. This is
a multiuser system from the late 70s early 80s, and I understand it was based
on Z80 cards dedicated to each user, sharing via a bus a hard drive and
floppy drive for data and program storage. It is roughly 70cm tall, 30cm wide
and 60cm deep and weighs about 60kg. This relic doesn't work, and it is
likely that the hard drive has failed.
If you are within the area north of the M25, East of the M1 and south of
Peterborough (preferably Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex
or Suffolk) and can give this box some TLC please e-mail me.
Regards,
John
