Does anyone have a machine with an Clipper RISC cpu in
it?
Wikipedia <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intergraph_Clipper> says that
only two companies ever used the Clipper (from Fairchild) were Intergraph
and High Level Hardware. HLH I never heard of before; Intergraph I
know of because they're big in CAD and GIS markets. Ah, WikiP says
that HLF was UK firm that made the Orion. Anyone got one?
If you follow the HLH link in the article you'll find York mentioned in
the list of UK Universities that used Orions. There were two Orions in
the Computer Science machine room when I went to York, and I know where
both went -- to a collector just along the road from me.
