Intergraph / Clipper / HLH Orion

Richard wrote: HLH were based in Oxford. We were offered one of the earlier (non-Clipper) machines a while back but unfortunately I couldn't get anyone else at the museum interested. I was asking about these last year in uk.comp.vintage as I'd unearthed some info that said my own uni (UKC) used to have some - yet I didn't recall seeing them during my time there. Bit more info at: http://tinyurl.com/yyomlf Jim Austin still has one I believe, although when I spoke to him last year he wasn't sure about install media. The UKC (non-Clipper) ones ended their days as nothing more than tables for the Sun machines apparently, before they were eventually dumped (the one mentioned at the start of this message is one of these, and was rescued at the time by one of the sysadmins). Key word when talking to anyone about HLH stuff seems to be "unreliability", although they sounded like pretty good systems when they actually worked. cheers Jules -- there's a carp in the tub there's a carp in the tub so nobody's taken a bath
