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.
Did either still have the original 2901 based processor?
Apparently most HLH machines were upgraded to Clippers CPUs
Pete will hopefully know. I'm starting to wonder about Jim's pair now;
the usenet posting I referred to earlier suggests they were Clippers,
but I've just been scanning past emails from Jim and he refers to them
as being microcoded. I haven't found the rest of the conversation yet,
though, which might shed some more light on things.
