The rack system looks interesting, any chance u could grab a couple of digi
cam snapshots of it ? direct reply is fine, it sounds like somehting i'm
trying to replace, and in the case of these "old" computers, spares are
always useful :D

Hi,
Somebody dropped off the following items (operational condition unknown)
to the Bletchley Park computer museum the other week which we can't
really make any use of:
Two Racal Milgo Omnimux 82 advanced statistical multiplexors
An ACT SDM-T (seems to convert several analogue phone lines to
digital)
An X-TEC Protocol Converter
A Wellfleet Access Node Communications Server
Large industrial rack system with 5" VGA display, Colorado 1440 tape
drive, 3.5" floppy, PSU, and a huge backplane containing 4 PCI slots and
15 ISA slots. We actually have two units, but may be keeping the screen
from one of them as it could prove useful for something at a later date
- maybe the backplane and chassis is still useful to someone though. I
believe there's the PC-on-a-card board kicking around the office from
one of the racks, the other one arrived with a bare backplane though.
They're free to a good home; comms gear isn't really my thing so I just
grabbed what was on the front labels - if any of the above sounds like
it could be useful to anyone I can always get more details as to exact
model numbers, what interfaces they have etc.
cheers
Jules
