Japanese computers

I seem to recall an article about a project to build a one mega-word memory unit too, which I suppose was a rather impressive size for then (particularly if you wanted to make it reliable!). Our machines of that era are all around the 4KW mark... I think the magazine must have been aimed at business analysts - which means the level of detail isn't as much as us techies would like (and articles tend to be half-page affairs), but it's still probably worth me recording the computing side of it. Give me a prod in a month if I haven't mentioned it again, as knowing me I'll forget by the time I'm back in the UK :) cheers Jules
