I'm not quite sure when the room with the focus on British machines will come on-line; notionally we're starting at the top end of the building (Colossus, Tunny et al, workshop, really big iron, analogue machines) and working our way down the corridor room-by-room. The 'British Room' is about halfway down - hopefully get to that one in around 6 months or so. It's slow going as every room ends up having to be gutted, cleaned and repainted... I was going to ask about Irish machines and see that James got there first; did Ireland ever make any micros? We spent today doing some final assessment work on the ICL 2966 mainframe prior to its move to final destination (as well as the 40 or so cabinets there seems to be a metric buttload of spares). Wall-painting's now finished in the room that it'll be going in to, and a couple of different firms are coming in on Monday to see the beast and give us a quote for moving it. If all goes well hopefully it'll get shifted in the next couple of weeks... cheers Jules
