Whitecross (WX9xxx & later). Massively parallel transputer (and later
x86) SQL machines. Doesn't do much without a Sun frontend but the
machine itself was designed & manufactured in the UK. Sadly, the
transputers it uses are ST rather than Inmos. I have one as a pet :-)
Flite (68K training systems). Still going too!
Does British Olivetti count? I once had a BCS2??? machine.
Strangely, I don't recall anything from Ireland. With a lot of IT
compnies now having a large presence there it strikes me as strange.
Whitechaple Computer Works (MG1 32016-based
workstation, Hitec
MIPS-based workstations)
Ah, that's the one I was trying to remember. I know someone who has
