British Computers.

Dear List Not through any sense of nationality and being a collector of an American brand anyway. The other day I was pondering life, the universe and other trivia (programmers do a lot of pondering). When it crossed the empty acres of my mind that there was very little discussion of UK designed and manufactured computers. If we exclude ICL -> Fujitsu and other main frames for now I can only think of a few: RAIR Black box (I knew them very well as they were a customer of mine whilst I was at DEC) Research Machines Acorn Atom Newbrain (When I said "What I need is a NewBrain" everybody agreed ) Digico (I worked on those) Had a hand operated paper tape reader. You pulled the tape through the reader. Does anybody have examples of these and any I may have missed? Rod Smallwood
